+               Since the introduction of the bundles-test, this lead to very weird following error:
+               java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.opendaylight.odlparent.featuretest.SingleFeatureTest
+               The features-test (and the bundles-test through a transitive dependency from it)
+               are already on the classpath transitively from the previous dependency above,
+               so it works without repeating it here.  Why repeating it here, which should
+               have no effect in Maven, leads to the NoClassDefFoundError, is one of the
+               currently unsolved mysteries of the universe.
