Description

Add possibility to:
1) define set of tests that will be executed at the begining within signle maven module
2) fail entire build if some test from specified list will fail

Using Spring in your project it's common practice that there is a need to wire some spring application context to be able to execute most of the tests. It will be good to have possibility to fail entire build immediately if such spring application context couldn't be wired because of some incorrectly commited code. But to achieve that: there need to be some special test case written that will only try to wire application context, then such test need to be run at the first place and any failure/error in such test should result in entire build failure.
