When building the project in the command line it fails due to one of the plugins (it still builds within eclipse). When I comment it out it works, but this isn't an issue on the academy computers.
Here is the problematic code:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.22.1</version>
<configuration>
<useSystemClassLoader>false</useSystemClassLoader>
</configuration>
</plugin>
