Using Maven Toolchains with ${thisPlugin}.

    By default, if the pom configures the toolchains plugin as specified in the aforementioned
    guide, ${thisPlugin} will launch the test jvm using the main toolchain
    configured in Maven.

    In some cases, it may be desirable to compile and test using different jvms.
    While the <<<jvm>>> option can achieve this, it requires hardcoding system-specific paths.
    Configuration option <<<jdkToolchain>>> can be used to supply an alternate toolchain specification.

* Configuring a different jvm for running tests using toolchains

+---+
<configuration>
    [...]
    <jdkToolchain>
        <version>1.11</version>
        <vendor>zulu</vendor>
    </jdkToolchain>
    [...]
</configuration>
+---+

         The above example assumes that your toolchains.xml contains a valid entry with these values.
