+
+This here is a clear example of some nastiness that has crept into Maven and here
+is where it will be cleaned up. This plugin is specific to running tests with
+surefire but it may well be a test runner for something else requiring a
+different set of resources. The surefire plugin's concern is to run surefire
+tests and to do that it must:
+
+o compile the test sources
+o copy over the test resources
+o run sure fire
+
+So currently below there are prereqs for the test:compile and test:resources
+but it is entirely unclear what those things are doing without looking
+at the other plugins which is not scalable. If surefire needed to add
+foo.jar and bar.jar to the classpath for compiling there would be some
+serious nastiness going on in order to modify the parameters of the compile.
+
+So, the surefire plugin should use the other plugins to satisfy its requirements
+and by using the plugins directly it can control their use for the specific
+purpose of running surefire tests.
+
+A goal is essentially a sequence of plugin executions that have been parameterized
for
+a specific task.

+If say for example you used DbUnit or XMLUnit then the configurations for
+each of the plugin executions would be different.
