[jira] Commented: (SUREFIRE-500) puzzling NoClassDefFoundError instead of meaningfull stacktrace

["Brett Porter (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-500?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=196954#action_196954 ] 

Brett Porter commented on SUREFIRE-500:
---------------------------------------

I can't reproduce this. I added this to a static init:

static { if ( true ) throw new RuntimeException( "die!" ); }

Do you have a sample project?

>    Affects Versions: 2.4.2

> We are using maven-2.0.9 for some project using spring/hibernate.
> When I made an incorrect change to the spring configuration (or actually I removed a hbm.xml file that was still referenced in the spring config), maven/surefire failed with an NoClassDefFoundError on one of our abstract test classes (where the spring config was loaded). Running in debug mode (-X) or increasing log4j levels did not reveal more info as to the cause of the problem. 
> After some time I switched back to maven-2.0.7,  maven/surefire also failed but with a meaningfull stacktrace that pointed immediately to the cause of the problem. 
> So I fixed the problem, switched again to maven-2.0.9, with a succesfull build as result.
