We are aware of this and we will break the backwards compatibility.
This change is planned in Surefire 3.0.
I am thinking of temporary fix but better not to do it.
Please reference and use these user/properties since they will be in 3.0:
<groups>${surefire.groups}</groups>
<groups>${failsafe.groups}</groups>Do you still need "_ALL_, _NONE_, _UNCATEGORIZED_"?
