title: Aggregate surefire reports of maven project hierarchy as XML for eclipse?
body: <p>I have a project hierarchy which built with maven. How can I run all the tests in the whole hierarchy at once from eclipse and easily go to the failures?</p>
  
  <p>The <a href="http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/index.html" rel="noreferrer">maven surefire plugin</a> spews loads of output at the console, but it is tiresome to find the failures there. It also generates XML report files which I can easily open within the normal eclipse JUnit view - but these are many many files and it is difficult to find the files of the failed tests. The <a href="http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-report-plugin/index.html" rel="noreferrer">maven surefire report plugin</a> allows to aggregate all test results with <code>mvn surefire-report:report-only -Daggregate=true</code> but only in HTML format. What I'd love to have is an aggregation of all test results in the eclipse JUnit view - just as I get if I use "Run as JUnit-Test".</p>
  
  <p>(Ideally, I would start all the unittests with "Run as JUnit-Test", but I can do that only for one project, not for all the projects in the workspace.)</p>
