Description

The unit tests of maven-failsafe-plugin pass successfully in IDEA if you run them locally.
The Maven build does not have a chance. Therefore use JUnit3 adapter to call them on JUnit4 library. The tests use annotations and cannot be run in JUnit3 runner. Therefore we use adapter elsewhere called JUnit4SuiteTest.java.
The projects surefire-testng and surefire-testng-utils do not have surefire configuration in POM like others.
The JUnit47SuiteTest.java has a duplicate test class.
