This issue does not apply to 5.0.

I am able to reproduce it by running the test at the command line with:

Apache Maven 3.2.3 (33f8c3e1027c3ddde99d3cdebad2656a31e8fdf4; 2014-08-11T13:58:10-07:00)
Maven home: /home/gbadner/apps/apache-maven-3.2.3
Java version: 1.8.0_40, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: /home/gbadner/apps/jdk1.8.0_40/jre
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "3.19.8-100.fc20.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"

For some strange reason, I am not able to reproduce this using Intellij unless I build at the command line. If I rebuild using Intellij, the update is executed and the test passes. I'm using the same version of Java and Maven in Intellij as at the command line.

Luis Barreiro, any ideas?
