Please, give us the exception from TestNG if the setup is invalid, give us the mere test results if the setup is valid because no inter-class dependencies exist. I mean somebody who can setup a config file for a build tool is smart enough to figure out what an exception means or do you disagree? Just in case, a few lines of doc about the forkMode=always setting should successfully shield Surefire from users filling in unjustified issues.
To me, it seems this discussion is primarily concerned about making Surefire bullet-proof against bad user config. As for me, I have this slightly arrogant attitude to feel superior to a machine and hence always feel kind of angry if a program wants to tell what I should better not do because it might fail.
