linkage-checker-enforcer-rules incompatible with maven 3.9? ClassNotFound: org/eclipse/aether/connector/basic/BasicRepositoryConnectorFactory

Issue にある最小限の pom.xml から始め、Maven 3.9.* と 3.8.9 を使って linkage-check の実行を再現します。Maven 3.9 で linkage-checker-enforcer-rules 1.5.15 が BasicRepositoryConnectorFactory をロードできない理由を調査します。影響を受ける Maven バージョンで、クラスが見つからないエラーなしに check が実行されれば完了です。

I am trying to get the plugin working with a minimal pom.xml:

Execution linkage-check of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-enforcer-plugin:3.6.2:enforce failed: A required class was missing while executing org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-enforcer-plugin:3.6.2:enforce: org/eclipse/aether/connector/basic/BasicRepositoryConnectorFactory

It fails with

• mvn 3.9.*

Works up until

• mvn 3.8.9
