I have originally submitted this to java EE, however I found that there is no activity there.

working maven project

I have used a working maven project to create the same in a normal netbeans project to be able to run test using arquillian.
What I have done:
I have resolved the dependencies with maven (see pom.xml)
I have created a blank normal netbeans (ant-based) web-application, imported the dependencies and copied the files to the appropriate folders.
The project consists of 3 important files: Greeter.java, BasicTest.java, arquillian.xml

The error says: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: WEB-INF/classes/org/arquillian/wildfly/example/Greeter.class not found in classloader sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@5197848c

When I created the project with Greeter.java in the test classes, it worked OK, however when I wanted to do a workaround other strange things happened, for example:

1. When I start from the above structure and copy back the Greeter.java to the tests, it shows the same message, although creating this project structure from scratch did work well.

2. When I created links (on linux system) from the maven project (I have done this in my real project) creating the working structure, although the BasicTest.java has run OK, when I created a new test file, it didn't recognize, even if the code was the same as BasicTest.java. I then experimented with this error by creating a blank project and copying static (not linked) files, and it worked with simple JUnit tests, and after I imported the libraries, for the first test, however then I again couldn't add anymore tests, it simply ignored them.

I have attached the maven project. The netbeans project is too big, I uploaded it to aws:

Comment 1 ferenci84 2017-09-18 11:23:18 UTC 
For your information, I have found a workaround that had to be made in the bild-impl.xml. In order to run the test OK, I had to make it compile the project files into the bild/test/classes directory and then to delete the bild/web/WEB-INF/classes directory. Somehow both of these steps are needed (even directories couldn't be in the classes directory) in order to be compatible with the arquillian testing. I found this by experimenting the differences in the bild directory between the working and not-working scenario.
I also found that the incompatible module is ShrinkWrap.
