Failed to classload type while reading annotation metadata
I am getting this error on server startup in eclipse. The unit test using PrepareForTest annotation runs fine.
I have added mockito-core, powermock-module-junit4, powermock-api-mockito as dependencies in pom.xml.
What could be the causes of this error? Thanks!

Answer
So this code cannot find org.powermock.core.classloader.annotations.PrepareForTest. As it seems related to osgi I would expect some misconfiguration on the OSGI manifest of this code.
You should investigate in that direction, ie why the eclipse OSGI classloader refuses to load it. You may need to add more OSGI rules (with BND for example) as you seem to have several dependencies.
