Description

I am throwing an exception whose message contains newlines for readability. When <trimStackTrace> is true (the default value) Surefire is removing all newlines.

Expected behavior: Consider moving this functionality out of <trimStackTrace> into its own parameter. Regardless of which parameter enables this behavior, please document it at http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html ... right now there is no mention of this behavior.
