 /**
  * Integration tests for diktat-maven-plugin. Run against the project from diktat-examples.
  * The whole pipeline is as follows:
- * * For each test case, test data is copied from examples with respect to maven-itf requirements, .mvn/jvm.config and .mvn/maven.config are copied too
- *   Note: for maven itf test name should equal example project's directory name, which we have in pom.xml.
- * * maven-failsafe-plugin launches tests; for each test case a separate maven process is spawned. diktat.version is taken from .mvn/maven.config
+ * * For each test case, test data is copied from examples with respect to maven-itf requirements, .mvn/jvm.config and .mvn/maven.config are copied, too.
+ *   **Note**: for maven-itf-plugin, test name should equal example project's directory name, which we have in `pom.xml`.
+ * * maven-failsafe-plugin launches tests; for each test case a separate maven process is spawned. `diktat.version` is taken from `.mvn/maven.config`
  *   and the exact value is written when maven copies resources.
- * * maven execution results are analyzed here; .mvn/jvm.config is used to attach jacoco java agent to every maven process and generate individual execution reports

+ * When within an IDE (e.g.: _IDEA_), don't run this test directly: it's

+ * phase_ for the `diktat-maven-plugin` submodule, as if you were running
+ *
+ * ```console
+ * $ mvn -pl diktat-maven-plugin verify
+ * ```
+ *
+ * from your terminal. If multiple JDKs are installed, be sure to pass
+ * `JAVA_HOME` to the _run configuration_, so that the parent and the forked
+ * JVMs have the same version.
