Hi,
This is the first java 1.5 version of the surefire plugin. For Junit3
it is still capable of forking down to java 1.3. Parallel forks are
the new thing in this release,
and it should now be possible to run balanced parallel forks; a pretty
cool feature for people with long-running tests.
Release Notes - Maven Surefire - Version 2.12
** Bug
* [SUREFIRE-789] - Junit Category: Tests without category fail
with the message
"initializationError(org.junit.runner.manipulation.Filter)" when
groups is set and forkMode=always
* [SUREFIRE-793] - JUnit47 provider reports incorrect time in the XML report
* [SUREFIRE-800] - redirectTestOutputToFile is not taken into
account in all cases with JUnit47 provider
* [SUREFIRE-804] - Testcase fails with forkMode=always and
useSystemClassLoader=false
* [SUREFIRE-805] - Regression: surefire 2.11 seems to break
excludeGroups config with TestNG
* [SUREFIRE-810] - Endorsed dirs mechanism not working
* [SUREFIRE-812] - log4j classloader problem in 2.11 that is not
there in 2.10
* [SUREFIRE-813] - Randomly wrong tests count and empty summary
files with JUnitProvider47 when forking the tests.
* [SUREFIRE-818] - Ignored Tests in case of NullPointerException raised!
** Improvement
* [SUREFIRE-803] - Multiple Failsafe executions - FAILURE in an
execution prevents successive from running.
* [SUREFIRE-806] - Make ignoring of <includes> and <excludes> on
-Dtest=... optional (for multiple Surefire executions)
* [SUREFIRE-820] - Documentation on how to use categories with
JUnit is missing (includes patch)
** New Feature
* [SUREFIRE-799] - Allow test parallelisation when forkMode=always
