Maven Sure-Fire - ClassNotFoundException for StartupReportConfiguration

Question

I am running my tests with spring boot. Also I am using OpenJdk-11 and maven version 3.6.3:

<plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>3.0.0-M3</version>
   <dependencies>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.apache.maven.surefire</groupId>
         <artifactId>surefire-junit47</artifactId>
         <version>3.0.0-M3</version>
      </dependency>
   </dependencies>
   <configuration>
      <useSystemClassLoader>false</useSystemClassLoader>
      <suiteXmlFiles>
         <suiteXmlFile>src/test/resources/testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>
      </suiteXmlFiles>
      <forkCount>3</forkCount>
      <skipTests>false</skipTests>
      <reuseForks>false</reuseForks>
      <testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
   </configuration>
</plugin>

This is my pom configuration. After running mvn test. Below exception is coming- Execution default-test of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:3.0.0-M3:test failed: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.maven.plugin.surefire.StartupReportConfiguration

I tried with multiple combination but did not work. Any help would be appreciated.

After removing the configuration element it throws -

Upgrading the version of the plugin to 3.0.0-M4 should solve the problem.

<plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>3.0.0-M4</version>
   ...
</plugin>
