I think this is the result of software entropy...
I.e. when the tests were added things worked, for a while. Then a number of 
things may have interfered, such as new JDK, other dependencies, Maven.

When I ran the tests, the JVM crashed completely, but I was able to trace some 
of that to the whole XML/XSL package nightmare (i.e. xml apis/impl in JDK, 
dependency and Maven), but unable to resolve it to a working solution, so I 
finally gave up.
