I'm a new comer trying to extend TC to support customized trace format, however I meet some errors while building TC from source.
I cloned the repo and switch to branch stable-5.2.0, then build the project with "mvn install" (I've also tried to configure args to skip testing modules) following the README text.
The building process is blocked by "failing to execute goal org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-surefire-plugin:1.3.0:test", all the latter modules are skipped.

The tools using are jdk1.8.0 and Maven version 3.3.9, and I have only jdk8 installed, so I wonder if I miss any dependencies before building the project.
