hboutemy	$ unzip -t multirelease-0.8-SNAPSHOT_failure.jar | grep class
hboutemy	 testing: base/Base.class OK
hboutemy	 testing: META-INF/versions/9/mr/A.class OK
hboutemy	 testing: META-INF/versions/8/mr/A.class OK
hboutemy	 testing: mr/A.class OK
hboutemy	$ unzip -t multirelease-0.8-SNAPSHOT_success.jar | grep class
hboutemy	 testing: base/Base.class OK
hboutemy	 testing: META-INF/versions/8/mr/A.class OK
hboutemy	 testing: mr/A.class OK
hboutemy	 testing: META-INF/versions/9/mr/A.class OK
