The "Publish JUnit test result report" option is not available when configuring maven 2/3 jobs. I have a use case that I can't get to working without this option.

I'm using maven to build a C++ project with gtests. The google test runs fine and is outputting results to a junit style xml report. I have surefire plugin set to skip because I don't have any java code or java tests in this project.

I would like my maven C++ project to do the following:
1. execute build
2. execute tests
3. publish test reports
4. deploy to artifactory.

It seems like i have two options when setting up a jenkins job:
A. maven 2/3 project OR
B. freestyle project.

Setting up a job with option A will allow me to do 1, 2, and 4, but NOT 3.
Option B will allow me to do 1, 2, and 3, but NOT 4.

The reason why 3 doesn't work in option A is because test reports are only triggered on an execution of the surefire plugin. Again I set the surefire plugin to skip so the test reports are not getting published to the jenkins CI. There's no option to "Publish JUnit test result report" in a maven 2/3 job configuration so I can't publish the reports that gtest generates.

The reason why 4 doesn't work in option B is because freestyle projects do not have the option to publish to artifactory (or it's been deprecated and doesn't seem to work).

I would suggest adding the "Publish JUnit test result report" option to maven 2/3 job configuration to satisfy this use case.
