I'm providing this in case anyone else wants to do the same thing I'm trying to accomplish.
OK, I have Surefire and Cobertura running during the same test phase. If either of them fails, the tests fail. Here's how to do it, in case anyone cares. The thing is, if your tests fail, you won't see coverage information, since Surefire is run before cobertura:check occurs. 1. Modify your pom file so that cobertura:clean runs during clean, cobertura:instrument runs during process-test-classes, and cobertura:check runs after the tests (setting the phase to "test" worked for me). 2. In the plugin jar, remove the line "<executePhase>test</executePhase>" from META-INF\maven\plugin.xml. Make sure you backup your plugin jar before attempting this. Some of our tests take several minutes to run, so this saved a lot of time.
