As you guessed, this is due to the fact that you cannot load twice the same
class with different classloaders in the same JVM, this is to prevent some
malicious hacking by replacing classes.
Your only choice is to run with fork=yes or to avoid duplicating the classes
in your junit task classpath
What prevents you from forking ?

Any discussion on this topic is bound to help as I am at a loss to
adequately dissect the problem.
