[jboss-dev] another maven lesson

[Paul Gier]

I investigated this a little further and it appears to be an issue with certain 
versions (4.3 and 4.4) of junit.  There problem doesn't occur using junit 4.5 so 
I didn't file a junit issue.  I put a sample project and some description in the 
maven surefire jira.

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-544
