I can make it work by copying the JDK to a folder whose name does not contain spaces and point JAVA_HOME to it. When I do this, everything works fine. This isn't a long-term solution though, as it requires a special-case install of the JDK. This seems to be a new bug in the 2.4-SNAPSHOT. We had to move to this because we're using the latest TestNG, which requires it. Before this, we used jUnit with version 2.3 of SUREFIRE and things worked fine. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
