Hi, This email was sent to @juherr (developer at TestNG) and maven development group in ASF.
Can we filter out Test class using excluded groups right without use of TestNG or JUnit instance? See the Jira [1]. For instance if we access annotations @Test(groups) in TestNG classes or @Category in JUnit , we could probably employ groups/categories while TestNg/JUnit is not running (talking about in-plugin process). Do you think this would be enough? Considering TestNG suites.xml I would rather not use this improvement. WDYT? This mechanism would require maintenance due to JUnit 5 [2] Tags which are similar to JUnit 4 included categories.
