NoClassDefFoundError using Junit 4.3 or 4.4.
--------------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-544
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-544
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Junit 4.x support
Affects Versions: 2.4.3
Reporter: Paul Gier
Attachments: surefire-ncdfe.zip
This appears to be a bug in junit 4.3 and 4.4. I'm just logging it here to
track it in case anyone else runs into the same problem. When two TestCase
subclasses have a parent with a static initializer that throws an exception,
the real error is lost and only a NoClassDefFoundError is displayed in the
output. This of course made it very difficult to track down the real problem.
The attached project contains a simple example that demonstrates the problem.
I tested using the following versions of junit in the dependencies:
3.8.1 - ok
3.8.2 - ok
4.2 - ok
4.3 - NoClassDefFoundError
4.4 - NoClassDefFoundError
4.5 - ok
