Description

We run integration tests using maven-surefire-plugin by filtering on the names (they end with *TestIntegration). These tests access a JBoss server, and leave log entires in the server log. When a test fail, it would be great to have a timestamp on each test in the test report from surefire so that it can be matched against what is happening in the server log. This is especially true when you have a lot of integration tests running and you can't directly spot the server log entries related to the failing test. By adding a timestamp to the tests it would make it MUCH easier to figure out the server log dependent calls.

Current output:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test set: com.tracetracker.gqi3.QueryRestTestIntegration
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tests run: 17, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 7.546 sec <<< FAILURE!
testSimpleEventQueryRecordTime(com.tracetracker.gqi3.QueryRestTestIntegration)  Time elapsed: 0.031 sec  <<< FAILURE!
junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: List of recordTime should not be empty
        at junit.framework.Assert.fail(Assert.java:47)
        at junit.framework.Assert.assertTrue(Assert.java:20)
        at com.tracetracker.gqi3.QueryRestTestIntegration.testSimpleEventQueryRecordTime(QueryRestTestIntegration.java:283)

Each failing test should have the timestamp added to the start of the line.
