[Junit-devel] filtering tests via annotations

[Paul S. <spr...@gm...>]

I've coded a patch to the maven surefire plugin which allows for filtering
tests classes based on arbitrary class level annotations when using junit.

The patch is attached to the jira here:
https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-833#comment-322466
There is also an example of how it works in the comments section.

I've been asked to reach out to this mailing list concerning this change. I
think at issue is the question of who is responsible for this type of
filtering; should this type of functionality be part of junit?

Thanks,
Paul
