ExceptionInInitializerError using Cobertura 2.0.3, Java 7, and Ant

Question

I am trying to upgrade to Java 7 on an Ant project which will use Cobertura 2.0.3.

Cobertura target in build.xml:

<target name="process-classes" depends="compile" description="post-process the generated files from compilation, for example to do bytecode enhancement on Java classes.">
        <path id="cobertura.auxpath">
              <pathelement path="${target.dir}/classes"/>
              <pathelement location="classes"/>
        </path>

        <mkdir dir="${target.dir}/cobertura-ser" />
        <mkdir dir="${target.dir}/cobertura-classes" />

        <!-- Copy all the files into the file that eventually get's built into the instrumented JAR -->
        <copy todir="${target.dir}/cobertura-classes">
            <fileset dir="${target.dir}/classes" /> 
        </copy>

        <!-- Instrument all the classes in place -->
        <cobertura-instrument todir="${target.dir}/cobertura-classes" 
            datafile="${target.dir}/cobertura-ser/cobertura.ser" 
            classpathref="cobertura.path">
            <fileset dir="${target.dir}/cobertura-classes" >
                <include name="**/*.class" />
            </fileset>
            <auxClasspath>
              <path refid="cobertura.auxpath" />
            </auxClasspath>
        </cobertura-instrument> 
    </target>

I am seeing ClassNotFoundException and ExceptionInInitializerError during the instrumentation phase of the build.

What am I doing wrong?

The errors are resolved if I comment this block:

<fileset dir="${target.dir}/cobertura-classes" >
    <include name="**/*.class" />
</fileset>

I don't know why. If you know please post an answer.

I get this:

process-classes:
    [mkdir] Created dir: C:\code\policy\main\policy-base\target\cobertura-ser
    [mkdir] Created dir: C:\code\policy\main\policy-base\target\cobertura-classes
     [copy] Copying 465 files to C:\code\policy\main\policy-base\target\cobertura-classes

[cobertura-instrument] INFO: Cobertura: Saved information on 0 classes.

Does it mean that no classes are instrumented?

[EDIT] I changed to this and classes are getting instrumented. However my build fails for a timeout issue.

<fileset dir="${target.dir}/classes" >
    <include name="**/*.class" />
    <exclude name="**/*Test.class" />
</fileset>
