I was also facing the same issue. Through IntelliJ everything was working fine but maven surefire was throwing up error. And finally found the answer. Here it is:

Basically the cxf libraries each supply a META-INF/cxf/bus-extensions.txt file and the default behavior of the packager is to replace that file, causing it to be incomplete. By configuring the shader to append instead of replace the cxf stuff will behave correctly.

Add this to your build section of your pom in the plugins section:

  
    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-shade-plugin
    1.4
    
      true
    
    
      
        package
        
          shade
        
        
          
            
              META-INF/cxf/bus-extensions.txt
            
          
          
            
              *:*
              
                META-INF/*.SF
                META-INF/*.DSA
                META-INF/*.RSA
