I have configured the maven jacoco plugin as follows in my pom.xml file

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${surefire.version}</version>

I tried by setting different parameters but could not make it work. Whenever I am running the test cases using mvn clean install or mvn jacoco:report I am not getting -- Skipping JaCoCo execution due to missing execution data file.
Update-- when I removed this param in maven-surefire-plugin
<argLine>
--illegal-access=permit
</argLine>
the reports were generated but not sure what is the reason behind it.
