Description

Using surefire and testng with no testng.xml but with <cofiguration>, the generated standard output xml always have suite name="TestSuite".
This is an issue while using CruiseControl and JUnitReport to generate a JUnit report.
Here is the configuration in my pom file:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.1</version>
<configuration>
<testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
<groups>fast</groups>
<excludedgroups>broken</excludedgroups>
<properties>
<property>
<name>suitename</name>
<value>${artifactId}</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>testname</name>
<value>${artifactId}</value>
</property>
</properties>
</configuration>
</plugin>

There is an attached patch too.
