Description

Hi!

We have a maven-project containing multiple modules. Our junit tests are annotated with categories (@Category annotation). If we start the test with:

mvn clean verify -Dgroups=org.example.MyCategory

everything works as expected (only MyCategory-annotated tests are executed).

But in parallel mode all tests are executed!

I have attached an example project to demonstrate the bug.
When executing:

mvn clean verify -Dgroups=org.example.MyCategory

two test are executed.
When executing:

mvn clean verify -Dgroups=org.example.MyCategory -Pparallel

four tests are executed.

The parallel profile looks like this:

    <profile>
      <id>parallel</id>
      <build>
        <plugins>
          <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.12</version>
            <configuration>
              <parallel>methods</parallel>
              <threadCount>2</threadCount>
              <perCoreThreadCount>false</perCoreThreadCount>
            </configuration>
          </plugin>
        </plugins>
      </build>
    </profile>
