title: Run multiple maven <execution> in parallel
body: <p>In my project, I have multiple maven plugin executions to run test cases as below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>                 &lt;executions&gt;
                      &lt;execution&gt;
                        &lt;id&gt;abc&lt;id&gt;
                        &lt;goals&gt;
                          &lt;goal&gt;verify&lt;/goal&gt;
                        &lt;/goals&gt;
                        &lt;configuration&gt;
                          &lt;argLine&gt;${argLine} -Xms1024m -Xmx4096m&lt;/argLine&gt;
                        &lt;/configuration&gt;
                      &lt;/execution&gt;
  
                      &lt;execution&gt;
                        &lt;id&gt;def&lt;/id&gt;
                        ...
                        ...
                        &lt;/executions&gt;
                  &lt;/executions&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am a beginner in maven and test suites execution and I recently came across that test cases can be run in parallel in maven.</p>
  
  <p>From documentation I got that <strong>methods, classes, suites</strong> can be run in parallel.
  I wish to know if the above executions altogether can be run in parallel.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
