Problems to start Selenium WebDriver in Maven project

I am trying to run Selenium in a Maven project. Unfortunately the program hangs at the initialization of the WebDriver with no error messages:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

Following things I already tried to fix the problem:

Even I found a way that my test project is working in Eclipse I still need to run everything with a 'pure' Maven project. This is due the CI integration and furthermore I like to work with Netbeans more than with Eclipse.

Another thing I figured is that everything is working when I use the headless browser (HtmlUnitDriver).

Could somebody give me an hint to get everything running with a pure Maven project and a real browser? Thanks in advanced!

I use webdriver in maven project. But I use older version of it. My driver setUp :

 protected static WebDriver driver;

    @BeforeClass
    public static void setUp() throws MalformedURLException {
        DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();

        driver = new FirefoxDriver();  //for local check
        driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(1920, 1080));
}

Dependecies in POM.xml which are resposible for webDriver initialization:

 <dependencies>
      <dependency> <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
          <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
          <version>2.29.1</version>
      </dependency>

      <dependency>
          <groupId>junit</groupId>
          <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
          <version>4.8.2</version>


      </dependency>
  </dependencies>

Hope this helps you.
