[m2] JUnit and eclipse

[Grant <am...@bfjournal.com>]

Hi,

 

I've been using Maven through the Mergere plug-in for eclipse, but I'm
wondering how others are working with JUnit tests.  When I get a test
failure, I get output like this:

 

[ERROR] mojo-execute : surefire:test

Diagnosis: There are test failures.

FATAL ERROR: Error executing Maven for a project

[ERROR] project-execute : com.bfjournal.sense:sense:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT (
task-segment: [test] )

Diagnosis: There are test failures.

FATAL ERROR: Error executing Maven for a project

org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: There are test
failures.

This is really unhelpful to me.  I know the surefire test reports are output
to the target folder, but I wind up having to hunt for the failing test
frequently.  And I don't get the benefit of eclipse linking to the source,
either.  Am I missing some really great way to work with this output?

 

Thanks
