What I'm saying is that the surefire plugin is responsible for bootstrapping Junit4, but does not follow all of its conventions. It has its own conventions. If you want to use Junit4 in maven, that means you use surefire to call into Junit4. If you don't like the default configuration for the surefire plugin, feel free to override it in a parent pom (and all your children will make use of it).
Here's the relevant section of the surefire plugin website: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/inclusion-exclusion.html On Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 11:02 PM, CheapLisa <l...@purpleblade.net> wrote: > > What does group-a and artifact-a refer to? > > so I have to do this in every pom in every sub-module?
