Re: [Engine-devel] Forking unit tests
We can just move the surefire config to a higher level in the pom hierarchy, but that
makes the tests slower globaly.
It is more work, but we could help Allon to rewrite the Powermock tests :-) And then the
surefire settings could be removed and the tests will run quick again.
