Diana,
I'm not sure what the answer to your problem is, but I'd hazard a guess that changing from the default JUnit test runner to the PowerMockRunner using:

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)

will be the cause of the problems. As they say on the Powermock website "PowerMock uses a custom classloader and byte code manipulation" - which means that when you then add:

@PrepareForTest(UsesResourceBundle.class)

it'll tell PowerMock to starting doing some jiggery-pokery with your code that will confuse whatever code coverage method you're using.

I'm running JUnits for code coverage purpose, can you help me with this?

Thanks in advance!
