This is long standing issue with NoClassDefFoundError for library classes.
As far as I got from reading similar issues there was a try to add build directive for failing tests, but other tests from the same directory started to fail with NoClassDefFoundError later, and now most of the test have no build action for libraries.
It seems to me that it's much simpler to remove build action from 4 tests in the directory than add it for other 55
