There clearly is a problem with your dependencies. Log4J is missing from the classpath. Are you sure you setup the `` correctly? — Alessandro Santini, Jan 18 '15 at 22:42

You need to add dependency on log4j

<dependency>
    <groupId>log4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.17</version>
</dependency>

to your pom.xml file (after dependency on junit).

You can read about this dependency in maven repo: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/log4j/log4j/1.2.17
