Description

The enclosed patch adds junitcore support to surefire. The patch requires junit 4.6 (the latest released version) to compile, but is only activated when running with the 4.7 snapshot or higher (due to some bugs in 4.6). The patch adds one extra setting to the surefire plugin. More details at http://incodewetrustinc.blogspot.com/

The new plugin also requires an external library which can be found at http://github.com/krosenvold/configurable-parallel-computer/tree/master, which will be bumped to 1.0 when/if you decide to accept the patch. I am requesting that the junit project actually accept the features of the configurable-parallel-computer as a standard feature in junit 4.7, but that's not decided yet. I do not have a public maven repo that is hosting configurable-parallel-computer, but was hoping maybe you could publish it ?
