Description

Currently the surefire plugin configuration defines the following exclusion:

.
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <forkMode>always</forkMode>
          <includes>
            <include>**/Test*.java</include>
          </includes>
          <excludes>
            <exclude>**/*$*</exclude>
          </excludes>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

AFAICT the '**/*$*' does not resolve to anything meaningful.

Adding support to exclude one or more tests via Maven property, i.e. '-Dtest.exclude=<TESTCLASS>' would be useful.
