[ANN] Maven Surefire Plugin 2.12.2 (And 2.12.1) Released

[Kristian Rosenvold <kr...@apache.org>]

The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Maven
Surefire Plugin, version 2.12.2.

The release announcement for 2.12.1 seems
to have bounced, so it is included in this mail too.

This release includes the maven-surefire-plugin, which executes the
unit tests of an application, the maven-surefire-report-plugin, which
parses surefire/failsafe test results and renders them to DOXIA
creating the web interface version of the test results, as well as the
maven-failsafe-plugin, which executes the integration tests of an
application.

You should specify the version in your project's plugin configuration:


<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.12.2</version>
</plugin>
