Description

Surefire fails to launch the tests with a 1.3 JVM, it returns a NoClassDefFoundError on SurefireBooter.

I tried to run manually the surefirebooter.jar file created in the temp directory, it worked with Java 5 but failed with Java 1.3 with the same error. Here is the manifest of the jar:
