First, thanks for the quick reply, and a thousand apologies for the duplicate post (more email addresses than I know what to do with.)
I appreciate that not forking is a somewhat fringe use case. The problem that we are facing is that as a Spring based project, we face a non-negligible initial startup cost (loading our Application Context), which, in a non-forked environment, we can avoid repeating for each test. When forking, the time to run all our tests balloons dramatically (hours, not minutes). Can you provide any insight as to how we might alleviate this burden (Test Suites seem a possible option, but we worry about maintenance overhead)? Thanks very much,

this question comes up so frequently, and the answer is always, "Junit
tests should be forked."  Can someone PLEASE change the default behavior
of the test plugin to fork unless it's overridden?  It would save on the
constent confusion in this area.

Hi Micah

I think the test forking law is "thou shall fork", not forking is a real

classpath mess between maven and project classpath (and caused your problem), I don't think not forking is ever a good idea.

Hi,
I just upgraded from rc1 to 1.0.1, and suddenly, I can't run JUnit
tests un-forked (maven.junit.fork=no). Failure output is below.


Could


this be some sort of mangled classpath issue left over from the


upgrade,


or is something more sinister afoot.  Thanks,
