Major Description
Building a NetBeans module with Maven and using the jacoco-maven-plugin 0.8.3 or later (current version is 0.8.5, required for Java 13 compatibility) halts a Java 8 JVM during test execution with the maven-surefire-plugin.
The attached project demonstrates this.

You can toy with the two parameters -DnetbeansVersion and -DjacocoVersion and will see that the problems begin in both -DnetbeansVersion is RELEASE100 or newer and -DjacocoVersion is 0.8.3 or newer.
Looking at the dependency tree (mvn dependency:tree) of the project the problem can be traced to the transitive dependency on {{org-netbeans-bootstrap, which contains its own implementation of java.lang.Module. Trying to instrument that causes the SecurityException during premain.
