I was able to fix this, but it breaks compatibilty. There is an alternative for how
you can do this - you should never need the root classloader for taskdefs any more.
Marking won't fix.

Description:
The specific problem is with trying to define a junit taskdef in maven.xml. The
classloader doesn't get the junit jar into the classpath because we haven't invoked
anything in the test plugin which "owns" that jarfile (even though project.xml requsts
junit*jar to be in the root classloader).
To quote from a conversation between myself and Bob:
(10:29:51) bob: so, to boil it down...
(10:30:08) bob: a taskdef in maven.xml can't get its own jar loaded into [root] like
the plugins do.
(10:30:32) jcej: Even though project.xml specifies the jar *and* does the <properties>
thing to stuff it into [root]
(10:30:34) bob: a project's project.xml should be inspected, just like plugins'
project.xml, to find extra jars to put in the forehead loader.
(10:30:41) jcej: Exactly.
(10:30:47) bob: so, the bug is we ignore the project's <properties> stuff.
(10:30:53) jcej: Apparently.
