Description

To run some tests from a jar, I went through the process of unpacking the jar and configuring it as a testClassesDirectory.

Upon execution, I am rewarded with:

org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Assert; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Assert

It fails the same with 2.5 and 2.6. I will attach the entire POM so that you can see that junit most assuredly is in the classpath. The -X log I'll attach also shows it, just to make this maximally confusing.

Config is:

  <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.5</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>rex-ws-tests</id>
                        <phase>test</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>test</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <testClassesDirectory>${project.build.directory}/rex-ws-test-classes</testClassesDirectory>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
