    Description

      Perhaps this is a misunderstanding, in which case I'd ask for a clarification in the documentation.

      If I specify a <forkMode> of "always" or "pertest" (which I understand is the same thing), Surefire will fork for each test class, but not for each @Test within the test class.

      The documentation led me to believe that surefire would fork once for each method annotated as @Test.

      (Background: I'm running OpenEJB and H2, and need to ensure that the in-memory H2 database I have set up is zapped in between each test run so that, among other things, the automated DDL generation re-runs for each test.)
