I tried your sharing build file but got same problem. 

Please let me know if any solution you found.

Thanks

From the exception, it appears that you've declared a listener (test.serviceloader.TmpSuiteListener) to be loaded by the ServiceLoader, but the specified listener class isn't on the class path. Check out http://testng.org/doc/documentation-main.html#listeners-service-loader for details.
