Interesting, do you know how do they do that? Run (unit) tests in a
separate step after all modules has been compiled? It's notoriously
hard to do with Maven, so I'm wondering how it's done.

I just learned that Travis makes it easy to compile with one JDK and
then do something else with a different JDK - like running tests.
That's very nice. With Jenkins we have to workaround such things by
creating multiple jobs and linking them together as dependencies.
