Description

JUnit 4 and POJO tests give ClassNotFoundException exceptions in test phase of the build (pom.xml is attached).
The console output gives a hint: JUnit 3.8.1 is appended to the surefire-booter forked JVM classpath instead of JUnit 4 (I tried it with junit-4.0, 4.1 and 4.2). When I try a POJO test case I get the same error.

Also attached are the outputs from the command lines for JUnit4 and POJO test cases
mvn -X clean test > mvn.log
