The test attribute is incorrectly described
-------------------------------------------

         Key: MSUREFIRE-45
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSUREFIRE-45
     Project: Maven 2.x Surefire Plugin
        Type: Improvement

    Reporter: Grégory Joseph
    Priority: Trivial


The the surefire plugin describe its test parameter with "Specify this 
parameter if you want to use the test regex notation to select tests to run."

However, from what I see in the SurefirePlugin code, this is abusing the 
"regex" term, since it is concatening "**/" + regex + ".java", which doesn't 
look much like a standard regex.

i.e, using the regex syntax, one would expect to set "test" to ".*TestCase", 
but this doesn't work - "*TestCase" gives the expected results.

All in all, I think this is just a matter of claryfiyng the doc - I haven't 
checked the surefire code itself, but from the results I get, I bet it doesn't 
use "real" regexes either.
