i added an oracle profile in the jbpm 3 root pom. i noticed that mailtest didn't run on my system. i had to exclude it. i didn't check that exclusion in. it was kind of strange: the logs showed that a connection with the mail server could not be established, but looking in the code, i saw that MailTest did *not* extend TestCase. i excluded mail test and then my test suite ran fine. thomas, do you know what the cause could be ? does any of you have the same problem ?
