Description

I am interested in adding JUnit's @Category support. TestNG already has group support in Surefire, so this would be a nice addition.

I'm wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the Surefire source code.

1. Do I need to add another provider or something?
1. Should I just subclass SurefireTestSuite in the same manner as JUnitCoreDirectoryTestSuite?
1. Should I model

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have some free time and I'd love to submit a patch this week.
