Given the amount of problems configuring these 3, it would be nice if Spring-Boot Parent preconfigured Jacoco

@nightswimmings thanks for the suggestion but we have no plan to add such an opinionated arrangement. If configuring jacoco with failsafe and surefire is such a problem, I'd recommend reporting that to the Maven team.

My argued motivation was providing Sonar coverage support out of the box, not the fact that is difficullt to configure per se, I worded it very wrong, but I appreciate your feedback !

Hi @snicoll, would Spring Boot be willing to add only the jacoco-maven-plugin declaration, i.e., just take care of the version management aspect?

I don't think we should. Providing dependency management for something we don't use ourselves doesn't feel right.
