Description

I'm receiving this error in 2.7.1:
"Error while executing forked tests.; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: testSetStarting called twice"

This did not occur with 2.5 on the same project. It is using TestNG with a suite XML and Cargo + Selenium

You should be able to reproduce it by checking out http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/archiva/trunk, changing the surefire version in the root POM, and running:
mvn clean install
cd archiva-modules/archiva-web/archiva-webapp-test
mvn clean install

I'll have to come back to investigate the cause later - the project is quite crusty and there may be some misconfiguration also.
