Maven reporting plugins do not execute if a unit test failure occurs

Question

None of the plugins in the reporting section of Maven execute if there is a unit test failure.

I found that I can set maven.test.failure.ignore=true here - http://

The error you see with 2.1.2 is because of forkmode settings which you need to perform in the plugin.

set forkmode=never and try it (I susppect there might problem in your useSystemclassloader property).

Otherwise make use of maven-surefire plugin version 2.5 which should definitel work and generate surefire rpeorts even though few test fails.
