Issue
forkedProcessTimeoutInSeconds can be set to 0 in order to prevent forked test VMs from being assumed dead after the specified time. What's the default value for this property?
href="http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html#forkedProcessTimeoutInSeconds" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The documentation doesn't specify it, the XML autocompletion in NetBeans says undefined which doesn't make sense because only setting it to a specified value or 0 does. A superficial look in the code shows that the value must be set outside the class where it's defined.
It's not overly important to figure this out, I more want to make sure that I'm getting the forking process right and can suggest improvement.
Solution
Because the forkedProcessTimeoutInSeconds is a primitive int it will default to 0 itself. Any value > 0 set via the properties will cause the ForkClient to set a timeout of that value in seconds.
<forkedProcessTimeoutInSeconds>
Kill the forked test process after a certain number of seconds. If set to 0, wait forever for the process, never timing out.
