Konrad Windszus updated SUREFIRE-2179:
--------------------------------------
    Description: 
Currently the parameter {{additionalClasspathElements}} 
(https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html#additionalclasspathelements)
 only supports file paths. That usually requires to add an additional step to 
first download the necessary artifact to a temporary folder with another Mojo. 
In addition {{additionalClasspathElements}} only support full paths to JARs but 
no wildcards which makes configuration very verbose.

For these reasons there should be an additional parameter supporting Maven 
coordinates which are then resolved automatically (even transitively) and added 
to the test execution classpath.
