Testing in Seam, Ant succeeds, TestNG plugin fails

[mikael.brodd]

Hi,

I am trying to get the integration testing going in my environment. I have begun with the examples from the book Seam in Action, using the existing source code downloadable from http://code.google.com/p/seaminaction/

I start out with testing via 'ant test', and it works fine.
Then I install the testNG plugin in eclipse, follow the readMe.txt in the open18/src/test directory, adding jar:s and bootstrap directory to classpath.
Then I add
-Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true
to JVM argument when running the test, to fix bug in JDK 1.6

But running the integration test with the plugin fails with the following stack trace. Ideas?
