There was a thread about this very problem in the last month. You need junit 4.11 or higher.

try

$ mvn dependency:tree

to determine if you've got multiple instances of JUnit 

[Charles Radley]

I have the same problem as above.

I am running junit 4.11.

I ran the mvn dependency tree but no sign of any junit conflict.

I have two similar cucumber projects in my eclipse with identical pom.xml files, one runs perfectly, the other generates that exception....

I cloned the second project from the first project.  The second project is generating the error.

any thoughts ?
