java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError when running a test

[Alan D. Cabrera]

I'm getting a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError when running a test and  
yet, the code compiles fine.  Any ideas as to what's going on?  The  
exact same code compiles and test fine on another box which has the  
same mvn and java version.

There are no differences between 'mvn help:effective-settings' and/or  
'mvn help:effective-pom' and the artifact a jar that was downloaded  
contains the class; which makes sense because how else can the code  
compile.

I am stumped.
