+In Gradle this might look like:
+```Groovy
+test {
+    useJUnitPlatform()
+    jvmArgs = ['--add-opens=java.base/java.io=ALL-UNNAMED',
+               '--add-opens=java.base/java.time=ALL-UNNAMED',
+               '--add-opens=java.base/java.time.zone=ALL-UNNAMED',
+               '--add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED']
+}
+```
+
+In Maven:
+```xml
+<plugin>
+    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
+    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
+    <version>3.0.0-M7</version>
+    <configuration>
+        <!-- we have to fork the JVM during tests so that the argLine is passed along -->
+        <forkCount>3</forkCount>
+        <!-- enable the restricted reflection under Java 11 so that the ObjectDiffer works
+             the @{argLine} part is there to allow jacoco to insert its arguments as well
+        -->
+        <argLine>
+            @{argLine}
+            -Xmx2G
