Hi Steven, I had a sort of similar problem. Maven expects certain things from the unit tests, that eclipse doesn't, the reason being that surefire uses reflection to lance the unit tests. One thing is that all classes are required to have public constructors with either no-arg or String name. There are probably also requirements on public methods. Try making any method that is not a test method private and check your ctors. I am not sure if this is documented anywhere...
