Further to this, the issue we had was to do with Cobertura and the version of Xalan/Xerces.

Looking at http://mojo.codehaus.org/cobertura-maven-plugin/dependencies.html, it can be seen that the cobertura plugin has Transitive Dependencies on Xalan 2.6.0 & Xerces at 2.6.2.

To combat this, I added:

    xalan
    xalan
    2.7.1
    test


    xerces
    xercesImpl
    2.11.0
    test

And the tests passed, both during the initial test phase with surefire and the cobertura phase.
