Description

If I upgrade surefire in the Mowebstart plugin project, I get test failures:

It sounds like SUREFIRE-347.

Note that my build was broke on Windows. I usually build on Linux so I didn't notice the problem. Maybe it has been there for a while. I also attach here the error I was getting when building with 2.3 on Windows. So I removed the useSystemClassLoader config (that was introduced to work-around SUREFIRE-347 w/ surefire 2.3...) in my POM and the build passed again on Windows (didn't try on Linux).

Then I upgraded to surefire plugin 2.4 and started to see failures in test. I added the useSystemClassLoader=true section in the surefire plugin config still the same issue.

I will try on linux when I get the time...
