Yes. This issue is not with the format of the location of the classpath at all. I have tried lots of permutations and combinations of factors in an effort to understand this bug better - paths with spaces/without spaces, paths with quotes/without quotes etc., and the ONLY factor that determines whether the surefire plugin works is whether the repository location is absolute or relative

Then I found out that it was a problem with the white spaces in Documents and Settings so I added something like this: <localRepository>${HOMEDRIVE}/Docume~1/User/.m2/repository</localRepos itory> in the settings.xml and it worked perfectly.
