Description

Because of (bad/legacy) design choices both schemas https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/xsd/surefire-test-report.xsd and https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/xsd/failsafe-test-report.xsd make both elements failure and error simple where the stack trace is not a nested element, but the body of those elements. This is inconsistent with other elements. With the next major version of Surefire this shall be changed to complex elements with a nested stackTrace elements.

This is the outcome of SUREFIRE-2229.
