newbie question about specifying testClassesDirectory

Hi,

I am new to maven (about 2 hours in), and I am working through a
tutorial that I download here;
http://www.lulu.com/content/1080910
I can run the "Hello world" app under eclipse.

However I am having a problem that when I run ;

$ mvn -e clean package

I get an error;
org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.SurefireExecutionException: Unable to
create test class 'com.mytutorial.AppTest';

Now, the "com.mytutorial.AppTest" class has been created in the
"./target/test-classes/" folder, so I guess that either there is
something wrong with the test class, which seems to compile ok;
[INFO] Compiling 1 source file to
/home/tomh/eclipse/workspace/simple/target/test-classes

or that the surefire:test cannot find the test-classes folder with the
test class.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tom
