Description

In my parent pom, i've configured the surefire plugin with
<reportsDirectory>${basedir}/../surefire-reports</reportsDirectory>
So that all reports go to the parent folder (i have one parent module with n submodules just below). I need to centralize all reports from all modules in order to use another tool on them.

If i do this and use mvn -T 1C to use parallel build, i have the following error :
The forked VM terminated without saying properly goodbye. VM crash or System.exit called

If i remove the reportsDirectory, no more problem, but all reports stay in submodules... I could use an ant task to copy files at the end of tests but it sucks...
