support junit 4.0
-----------------
Key: SUREFIRE-31
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-31
Project: surefire
Type: Improvement
Reporter: John Didion
Assigned to: Jason van Zyl
I know this is a pretty sizable task. I just wanted to get it in the system now
that 4.0 has officially been released. Hopefully this will generate some
discussion about how 4.0 will be handled - mainly if it will require a
completely seperate implemenation of surefire (keeping the same API so it can
easily be used by the maven plugin), or if use of 4.0 will be made a
configurable option of the current surefire.
Here's some additional features I'd like to see:
1. Ability to categorize tests. Unfortunately, 4.0 doesn't include an @Category
annotation, or make category a parameter of @Test. However, the filtering
mechanism provided by 4.0 is sufficent to support categories given the presense
of such an annotation. I recommend putting the @Category annotation in a
seperate module (surefire-annotations?) and build support for it into surefire.
Hopefully the junit guys could be convinced to incorporate it in a later
version.
2. Similarly, support repeated tests via an @Repeated annotation. I'm not sure
how easy this would be to do external to junit.
