title: Failure to execute maven goal with Jacoco
body: <p>I'm trying with more than 15 version on jacoco and still is something wrong.
  I've tried with different pom.xml files found on internet, but still without any effects.</p>
  
  <p>Below my pom.xml</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;project&gt;
  &lt;modelVersion&gt;4.0.0&lt;/modelVersion&gt;
  &lt;parent&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;org.jacoco&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;org.jacoco.build&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;version&gt;0.6.5.201403032054&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;relativePath&gt;../org.jacoco.build&lt;/relativePath&gt;
  &lt;/parent&gt;
  &lt;artifactId&gt;jacoco&lt;/artifactId&gt;
  &lt;packaging&gt;pom&lt;/packaging&gt;
  &lt;name&gt;JaCoCo :: Distribution&lt;/name&gt;
  &lt;description&gt;JaCoCo Standalone Distribution&lt;/description&gt;

  <p>And the output:</p>

  <p>And the output depends of version jacoco.</p>
  
  <p>Do you have any ideas?</p>
