Description

Specifying <excludedGroups>foo</excludedGroups> in the Surefire configuration no longer works with JUnit 5 @Tag'd tests.

Surefire now spits out the following and fails to execute any unit tests:

[WARNING] Couldn't load group class 'foo' in Surefire|Failsafe plugin. The group class is ignored!

With manual bisection seems to indicate this functionality was lost in the 3.0.0-M5 release.
