Description

Surefire will silently fail without executing any tests if the argLine for the forked process contains tabs \t or newlines \n.

This commonly occurs when the argLine is long, and an IDE feels the need to break up the line while reformating the xml.

A solution could be to replace \t and \n with a space.
