[FIXED] How to set jacoco coverage percentage to 60% at child's pom?

Issue

Can some one tell me how to set Jacoco code coverage to a certain percentage in Child's POM. I have a parent dependency which is expecting 80% coverage. I need to limit that to 60% in my child project. I am setting 0.600 under child's pom properties. But this is not overriding the parent's coverage goal which is 80%. Any comments are appreciated..

<jacoco.percentage.instruction>0.600</jacoco.percentage.instruction>

Solution

The key is we cannot override just properties of Jacoco. I have copied the below parent's pom plug in to my project and I have updated the minimum covered ratio to 60% where it was 80% in parent's pom. This is working for me.
