might be more direct to run the tests directly (ie not maven) but I think considering we are already using maven to publish a snapshot, sgtm.

verified the build output included passing tests.

@adriancole yes, I tried running nodejs directly first, but I wasn't able to find it (probably not installed on jenkins?) https://builds.apache.org/job/incubator-zipkin-api/job/jenkins-test/1/console

I would have done the same as you.. progress not perfection :)
