Brett Porter commented on SUREFIRE-500: --------------------------------------- I can't reproduce this. I added this to a static init: static { if ( true ) throw new RuntimeException( "die!" ); } Do you have a sample project? > puzzling NoClassDefFoundError instead of meaningfull stacktrace > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-500 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-500 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Bug > Components: classloading > Affects Versions: 2.4.2 > Environment: maven 2.0.9 , linux/ubuntu, jdk-sun-1.5.0_13 > Reporter: Johan Romme > > We are using maven-2.0.9 for some project using spring/hibernate. > When I made an incorrect change to the spring configuration (or actually I > removed a hbm.xml file that was still referenced in the spring config), > maven/surefire failed with an NoClassDefFoundError on one of our abstract > test classes (where the spring config was loaded). Running in debug mode (-X) > or increasing log4j levels did not reveal more info as to the cause of the > problem. > After some time I switched back to maven-2.0.7, maven/surefire also failed > but with a meaningfull stacktrace that pointed immediately to the cause of > the problem. > So I fixed the problem, switched again to maven-2.0.9, with a succesfull > build as result. -- 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
