nkeywal commented on SUREFIRE-329:
----------------------------------
I tested the branch SUREFIRE329 above on Apache HBase, mainly in
forkMode=always or forkMode=once, with JUnit 4.8.2, and I have been able to
make it work with some modifications on surefire. I attach the patch here if
you want to reuse some elements. The issues I had are:
1) logs on console despite a redirect setting
2) excludedGroups was not taken into account, it seems that there is a
confusion between excludedgroups & excludegroups (see the missing 'd')
3) the filtering was not done
I also had an issue linked to JUnit: JUnit fully initializes the classes to
check if it must be included or not. It means creating the static variable & so
on. If the initialization is not possible for any reason (for example complex
initialization dependent on the class loader) it breaks... I created an issue
in JUnit for that: https://github.com/KentBeck/junit/issues/359. It works fine
with a minor modification on JUnit. We need it for HBase, it won't be necessary
for everybody I think.
Using forkMode=once, with only excludedGroups (no groups specify) does not work
(junit exception). I didn't dig in this one as in our case forkMode=once
without groups is barely used. It could be a pure JUnit issue.

> Is there any plan to support using JUNIT extensions such as
> @Category,@PreRequisite with Maven2 SureFire plugin?
> The JUNIT EXTENSION URL:
> http://www.junitext.org/
> We would like to specify the categories to run via a configurable option in
> the maven surefire plugin that supports JUNIT extensions
> See example Java Code: The following runs only tests with Category - Z.
> //In JUnit4
> JUnitCore core = new JUnitCore();
> // use for categories special listener, give some statistics
> core.addListener(new CategoryTextListener(System.out));
> Request req = Request.aClass(SpcfXXXXTest.class);
> core.run(req.filterWith(new CategoryFilter("Z")));
