Kristian Rosenvold commented on SUREFIRE-569:
---------------------------------------------
There's almost always some controveresy regarding the use case for this issue,
but I think it's time we add this feature. @Aslak; your patches are usually
nice and I just skimmed it quickly on-line; will go through it in more detail
later.
You will need to attach the patch to the issue here too, since we're not
entirely in the clear on accepting pull requests yet. Things move slowly around
here ;)
> There should be a way to run unit tests from a dependency jar.

> In some cases it would be useful to have a set of tests that run with various
> dependency configurations. One way to accomplish this would be to have a
> single project that contains the unit tests and generates a test jar.
> Several test configuration projects could then consume the unit tests and run
> them with different dependency sets. The problem is that there is no easy
> way to run tests in a dependency jar. The surefire plugin should have a
> configuration to allow me to run all or a set of unit tests contained in a
> dependency jar.
