Description

This idea was suggested by Aaron Kushner: upgrade the Surefire plugin used by pom.xml from 2.5 to 2.9. This will hopefully help with the following:

• The whole test suite run should not stop after a single test times out.
• Correctly stopping surefire worker processes instead of leaving them around after the test suite run has completed.
• Better reporting of tests and test cases with failures and errors.
