Re: [tycho-user] How to perform a heap dump before tests are killed after ${surefire.timeout}?

Oops, of course ... I need a thread dump not a heap dump...

Unfortunately, the deadlocks are not reproducible, which makes it almost impossible to debug it manually. So, the ability to launch jstack before the test jvm is killed would be very helpfull ;)
