I read up a bit on this.  It appears that maven-surefire-plugin cannot 
both do unit tests and integration tests in the same life cycle (as far 
as I understood).

Oh the joy of other peoples tools :)

That is because it is wrong (not a valid zip file), and I can see that I 
have removed that line in my local copy.  My bad. Duly updated.  
Shouldn't Continuum tell me that I broke the build?

Also it confused me a bit in the beginning to see stack traces in the 
maven output, but apparently that is intentional.  I am not used to such 
verbosity when tests actually pass :)
