Description

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")));
