Description

I've setup an integration test for a maven plugin. I have configured the maven-invoker-plugin like the following:

          <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-invoker-plugin</artifactId>
            <dependencies>
              <dependency>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
                <artifactId>groovy</artifactId>
                <version>${org.codehaus.groovy-groovy.version}</version>
              </dependency>
              <dependency>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.gmaven.runtime</groupId>
                <artifactId>gmaven-runtime-1.8</artifactId>
                <version>${org.codehaus.gmaven.runtime-gmaven-runtime-1.8}</version>
              </dependency>
            </dependencies>
            <configuration>
              <addTestClassPath>true</addTestClassPath>
              <debug>false</debug>
              <localRepositoryPath>${project.build.directory}/local-repo</localRepositoryPath>
              <cloneProjectsTo>${project.build.directory}/it</cloneProjectsTo>
              <projectsDirectory>src/it</projectsDirectory>
              <showVersion>true</showVersion>
              <pomIncludes>
                <pomInclude>*/pom.xml</pomInclude>
              </pomIncludes>
              <preBuildHookScript>setup</preBuildHookScript>
              <postBuildHookScript>verify</postBuildHookScript>
              <settingsFile>src/it/settings.xml</settingsFile>
              <parallelThreads>1</parallelThreads>
            </configuration>
            <executions>
              <execution>
                <id>integration-tests</id>
                <goals>
                  <goal>install</goal>
                  <goal>run</goal>
                </goals>
              </execution>
            </executions>
          </plugin>
        </plugins>

I have a setup-config/pom.xml project which must be installed before any other tests which seemed to be working with the above configuration.
But I would like to use the parallelThreads with for example 3 or 4 the result is that the build fails, cause the setup-config/pom.xml project is not running before any other integration.
This gives the hint that it is not guaranteed that the setup-*/pom.xml project will be running before other integration tests.
In my opinion the setup-*/pom.xml project must be started first with the appropriate threads afterwards the other integration tests must be started within a second step.
