    Description

      I am using Surefire to test code accessed through JNI. Sometimes this code will fail, crashing the JVM.

      We run these tests in parallel ( forkCount=1C and reuseForks=false ) and it's not always obvious from the logs, which test caused a JVM crash - and although a command line is printed out, the booter temp files are removed automatically.

      For example:

      [INFO] --- maven-surefire-plugin:2.19.1:test (default-test) @ crash-during-test ---

      The situation could be improved if such crashes more closely resembled other test errors - such as by logging the test that was in progress when the crash happened.
