Source Code Cross Reference

The Surefire Report Plugin can link every reported test to its source class. For failed tests, the failure details link directly to the source line when it is available from the stack trace. To activate this feature, declare the maven-jxr-plugin in the <reporting> section of the POM along with the maven-surefire-report-plugin. For more details, read the documentation of the Maven JXR Plugin.
