Thanks for this - unfortunately even with this setting I am still having the same problem it appears to be some interaction between the libraries JAXB2 and Surefire is using that even happens when forking is occuring.
I have checked (with -X) and I am definitely running Surefire 1.5.2 which is the latest I can see. The JAXB2 guys think it is likely to be something to do with the way surefire is loading classes. Looking at surefire I suspect this could be the case as it is using a custom isolated classloader which then loads the javax.xml namespace a second time (hence the error). The percise error is java.lang.LinkageError: loader constraints violated when linking javax/xml/namespace/QName class at com.sun.xml.bind.v2.model.impl.RuntimeBuiltinLeafInfoImpl.<clinit>( RuntimeBuiltinLeafInfoImpl.java:779) at com.sun.xml.bind.v2.model.impl.RuntimeTypeInfoSetImpl.<init>( RuntimeTypeInfoSetImpl.java:25) I am going to investigate - but any hints would be appreciated.
