Is it possible to enable -fae/--fail-at-end by default?

I know I can instruct Maven to keep going after a failure with the -fae/--fail-at-end command-line option. Is there a way to set this behaviour as default for a given module?

Some background:
I'm moving from an Ant build to a Maven-based build, and the other developers on the team are used to the build completing even when there are failed unit tests. With a ~200-module product, the build takes a fair amount of time, and it would be ideal if developers could see all failing tests from the beginning, without having to remember to add the -fae option.

From reading the Maven docs, I get the feeling that the answer is a resounding "no", but I just want to cover my bases and make sure there isn't some sort of undocumented way to do this...

Thanks!

After checking out the Maven source code, I can confirm this cannot be configured by default.

An existing issue is opened on the Maven tracker: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5342 (please vote if you still want it -- just noticed you did open it so you cannot vote on it ;) )...

To skip test failures you can use property maven.test.failure.ignore. Of course you can use this property per module if you have parent and children poms.
