> while trying to port JUnitCoreProvider to tycho, I noticed that it fails with an NPE when run inside an OSGi environment.
> The root cause is really JUnit bug
> https://github.com/KentBeck/junit/issues/364
> JUnit uses Class.forName() to load the test class which assumes the JUnit classloader can always load test classes, which is not true in an OSGi classloader environment.
> While this should be fixed in JUnit, it's easy to work around this issue in surefire.
> It's not necessary to use the offending org.junit.runner.Description.getTestClass() in JUnitCoreRunListener.fillTestCountMap(). We can use String getClassName() instead to circumvent classloading issues as we only need the class name anyway.
> I will attach a patch.
