Hi,  
I need to run elasticsearch for my tests, so I thought of using ESIntegTestCase.  
But, I am getting this error when am running tests :

```
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.lang.RuntimePermission" 
"accessClassInPackage.sun.reflect")
    at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:472)
```

Down the logs, I am getting this error:

```

Resolved it using

```
-Dtests.security.manager=false

```

But, now I am getting this error:

```

Close this, I have read all the issues and found out it is better to spin new instances from maven plugin and not use ESIntegTestCase.

What a waste of time!

I request community to remove Testing Column in Elastic search guide and provide a good library for creating local nodes for testing purpose. (I don't use maven and I am having problem to learn maven and convert that plugin to suit my needs)

Some ideas there:

> [@In memory testing with RestHighLevelClient](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/in-memory-testing-with-resthighlevelclient/106196/6):
>
> This will not happen. To do integration tests, you can: Use the Gradle tools elasticsearch already has. You can read some information about this here: [#21119](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/21119). This [sample project](https://github.com/joel-costigliola/elastic-search-test) shows how to use Elasticsearch Test Classes Use the Maven plugin: [GitHub - alexcojocaru/elasticsearch-maven-plugin: A Maven plugin to run a single node Elasticsearch cluster during the integration test phase of a build](https://github.com/alexcojocaru/elasticsearch-maven-plugin) Use Ant scripts like [https://david.pilato.fr/blog/2016-07-29-elasticsearch-real-integration-tests/](http://david.pilato.fr/blog/2016/10/18/elasticsearch-real-integration-tests-updated-for-ga/) …
