If it's the JDK image then this should work as it's the equivalent of 
pre jdk9-b41 with tools.jar on the class path. So I think you will have 
to dig into, my only guess at this point is that TestNG is somehow 
delegating to the extension class loader rather than the 
system/application class loader.
