Failed to transform class with name com.test.NewTest

I'm getting a "Failed to transform class with name com.test.NewTest. Reason: 3" 
error when mocking a static method. 

My test is this:

@Test
@PrepareForTest(Counter.class)
public class NewTest {
    public void test_add() {
        PowerMockito.mockStatic(Counter.class);
        PowerMockito.when(Counter.add(1, 1)).thenReturn(2);
        int result = Counter.add(1, 1);
        Assert.assertEquals(result, 2);
    }

    @ObjectFactory
    public IObjectFactory getObjectFactory() {
        return new PowerMockObjectFactory();
    }
}

And Counter class:

public class Counter {
    public static int add(int a, int b) {
        return a + b;
    }
}

The stack trace when exception is thrown is:

I got the exception when adding this test to an existing project. However, it 
works fine if I create a new project with just these two classes. Therefore 
this could be an envrionement issue. 

I'm using these verions:
testng 5.14.6, mockito 1.8.5, powermock 1.4.12

The operating system is Windows 7.

How do I troubleshoot this? Are there loggings I can turn on?

Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks!
