IBM SecureRandom NullPointerException

[Joris De Winne <jo...@gmail.com>]

I'm having an issue running maven with the IBM SDK. When I execute the
following code in eclipse I have no problem:

@Test
    public void testSecureRandom() {
        UUIDGenerator generator = new UUIDGenerator();

        generator.generateRandomBasedUUID();
        System.out.println("This is working");
        Assert.assertTrue(true);
    }


Running it in maven gives me a failure with the following exception:

Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.235 sec
<<< FAILURE!
testSecureRandom(TestSecureRandom)  Time elapsed: 0.131 sec  <<< ERROR!
java.lang.NullPointerException
    at java.security.SecureRandom.nextBytes(SecureRandom.java:292)
    at UUIDGenerator.generateRandomBasedUUID(UUIDGenerator.java:138)

The problem is that the service "IBMSecureRandom" is not found when running
in maven. Is there a workaround for this problem?

I'm using the following configuration
Apache Maven 2.1.0 (r755702; 2009-03-18 20:10:27+0100)
Java version: 1.6.0
Java home: /opt/ibm-java-i386-60/jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8

with java version:

All help is welcome!
