Hi, You introduced the idea a couple of ago on this list already, and IIRC, one main feedback question was why you don't use JUnit's Rules concept for this. I can think of a couple of arguments to rather use Rules instead of the extension in surefire, but I'd like to know your reasoning to go this way. Is it mainly the reporting?
I'll look into the PR tonight (CEST) and maybe leave some comments at github, but let's dicuss the general approach here in the mailing list. :-) Thanks, Andreas Am Dienstag, 24.
