Maven test

I am experiencing a weird issue executing unit tests with maven. I have a set of unit tests that work great if they work one by one. However, when I run them from maven (mvn test) it hangs (blocks forever).

It always hangs at the same point (same test class) in class A that is used by this test. I tried to remove log creation from A.class

and the test started to work successfully. This is the line:

private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(A.class);

      

        
        
        
      

    

Here's a stream dump:

I don't know where to go from here. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
