Update the POM.xml as

    org.jacoco
    jacoco-maven-plugin
    0.7.7.201606060606
    
      
        
            prepare-agent
        
      
      
            report
            prepare-package
            
              report
            
      
    



      maven-surefire-plugin
      2.12.1
      
         ${argLine} -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=1048m
