I think that some of this is being caused by the new version of surefire which we have in precise.

It appears that surefire does not correctly detect that the version of Junit being using is >= 4.7 so reverts Junit 3 behaviour which breaks alot of the tests.

Raising a task for surefire as well as I think the fix may be required there.

This bug was fixed in the package surefire - 2.10-2ubuntu1

---------------
surefire (2.10-2ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * d/patches/fix-junit-provider-selection.patch: Correctly detect 4.x
    version of JUnit from Debian Maven Repository so that JUnit47Provider
    is selected for execution of unit tests when appropriate (LP: #935219).
