Flacoco supports parallelisation

[martinezmatias]

We can check if Flacoco supports parallelisation on the same JVM.
We have a singleton in FlacocoConfig that could impact on the parallelisation.

(Point discussed in #91)

Just one thought:
what about adding an instance from FlacocoConfig as input in the run methods from Flacoco class. (The instance would be still created by the Main)
Then, it will pass the instance to the Runner, which will store it in a field (which currently is affected with the singleton ).

That would allow that each runner have one particular configuration.
WDYT?

Ok, yes. I agree with that use case.

I will include that change in #91 .

On a second though, we have to make a design decision:

• Pass the FlacocoConfig to every class who needs it.
• Parametrize (almost) every class who needs access to the config and pass only the required ones.

The second option is more OOP, but in some cases this will result in a lot of parameters.

WDYT?

Hi @andre15silva

Both options are fine, but I'd chose the first one as it would be easier to develop and maintain.

There's also another issue with parallelization. test-runner's entry point is configured statically, so we need to change that too.

Hi @andre15silva

ok, I see.
