[m2] specifying the surefire-booter for cobertura?

[Nigel Magnay]

I'm suffering from SUREFIRE-30, which is down to the fact that the cobertura
plugin uses
surefire-booter-1.5.2.jar - which has this problem.

I have tried adding a different booter into the plugin :

<plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>cobertura-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                 <version>2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>clean</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>

                <dependencies>
                    <dependency>
                        <groupId>org.apache.maven.surefire</groupId>
                        <artifactId>surefire-booter</artifactId>
                        <version>1.5.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
                    </dependency>
                </dependencies>

            </plugin>


But mvn -X shows it's still using the 1.5.2 jar:

[DEBUG] Adding to surefire test classpath: C:\Documents and
Settings\nigel.magney\.m2\repository\org\apache\maven\surefire\surefire\1.5
.2\surefire-1.5.2.jar

Short of recompiling all these dependent files (& having to distribute them
internally so everyone else's build works) is there a way of overriding this
behaviour ?
