Randall: Surefire seems to have a number of issues because of it's dedicated Resource and Class loaders. I believe the best practice here is to make an example project and submit a bug to codehaus. I've had to do so. http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-340 Barrett :: Barrett Nuzum Consultant, Skill Development Direct: 918.640.4414 Fax: 972.789.1340

The test which I'm trying to run is using JAXB and Blowfish impl which comes with Java 1.5, i.e. what's in SunJCE.jar (jre/lib/ext). Before I was using a different impl of Blowfish, third party jar (cryptix) and that was setup as a dependency in my pom so JAXB and the blowfish impl were on the same "level" - no problems. The fun begins when I switch from the third party jar and try to use the java provided impl. Now, I can use JAXB and the Java impl together fine, say, when I run the actual application which is being tested - problems only happen when running the unit tests via Maven. First problem: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/crypto/provider/SunJCE Resolved this by enabling the childDelegation for the surefire plugin. <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <forkMode>always</forkMode> <childDelegation>true</childDelegation> Note - The surefire plugin describes the childDelegation option as: When false it makes tests run using the standard classloader delegation instead of the default Maven isolated classloader. Only used when forking (forkMode is not "none"). Setting it to false helps with some problems caused by conflicts between xml parsers in the classpath and the Java 5 provider parser. Default value is false. Second problem: When I enable the childDelegation, the plugin then cannot find the JAXB classes (setup as dependencies in the pom). I've tried test/compile scopes on the dependencies but to no avail. Note: I tried the <useSystemClassLoader>true</useSystemClassLoader> option, but that only seemed to make things worse. Any help is greatly appreciated!
