How do you get the soapUI maven plugin to fail safe?

Question

AFAIK, the maven failsafe plugin fails safe because it has separate goals for running the tests and failing the build based on the tests. These are designed to be bound to the integration-test and verify goals respectively. This allows post-integration-test bound goals to run (shutting down the build) before the build fails.

My question is, how do I do this with the maven-soapui-plugin? I thought I could simply specify <testFailIgnore>true</testFailIgnore> in my soapui plugin config and then call the failsafe plugin verify goal, but that isn't working. I don't think I'm not sure if I'm getting a summary file out of the soapui plugin or not. I keep getting Expected root element 'failsafe-summary' but found 'testsuite' Here is a snippet of the POM:

<plugin>
    <groupId>eviware</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-soapui-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>4.0.0</version>
    <configuration>
        <junitReport>true</junitReport>
        <exportAll>true</exportAll>
        <outputFolder>${project.build.directory}/surefire-reports</outputFolder>
        <testFailIgnore>true</testFailIgnore>
        <printReport>true</printReport>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>FailingTest</id>
            <phase>integration-test</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>test</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <projectFile>${basedir}/testData/soapui-integration-tests.xml</projectFile>
                <host>localhost</host>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.9</version>
    <executions>
          <execution>
           <phase>verify</phase>
            <id>verify</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>verify</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <summaryFiles>
                <summaryFile>${project.build.directory}/surefire-reports/TEST-TestSuite_1.xml</summaryFile>
              </summaryFiles>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Is there something wrong with my POM or is this a bad approach? Are there any better approaches?

There is an open source extension of the soapui plugin which has a separate test-verify goal for exactly this purpose.

https://github.com/redfish4ktc/maven-soapui-extension-plugin

The following example shows the required configuration: https://github.com/redfish4ktc/maven-soapui-extension-plugin/blob/master/src/it/test-verify_goal/one_failing_project/pom.xml
