PowerMockRule doesn't work on IntelliJ Idea

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I get error: PowerMockRule can only be used with the system classloader but was 
loaded by java.net.URLClassLoader

it's due to code:

static {
        if (PowerMockRule.class.getClassLoader() != ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader()) {
            throw new IllegalStateException("PowerMockRule can only be used with the system classloader but was loaded by " + PowerMockRule.class.getClassLoader());
        }
        PowerMockAgent.initializeIfPossible();
    }

it happens only when you have a  big project and lot of maven dependencies, and 
then idea tries to save classpath to a file, and uses a custom classloader 
which loads this classpath

Same thing happens to me. Any workaround we can do?

Possible workarounds:
- open .idea/workspace.xml and set dynamic.classpath to false (may not work if 
your classpath is too long)
- start tests not with idea but with idea Maven integration
- use something else for patching (eg AspectJ)
