Indeed. It's worrying that this kind of messages still exist for more a year that I follow that mailling-list, and keep unanswered.
Don't misunderstand my point of view: I'm not blaming someone. I'm just underlying that there's a major problem in maven2, and this problem has a name: Surefire. We're all according on the point that testing is *THE* central good-practise that everybody wants to adopt. How can we reach this goal with maven if for each project, users have to deal with a compatibility problem between surefire and its testing suit? How to explain that users have to play with a magical combination of snapshots to get their environment running? That's off-putting. Now I think we have some questions to answer: 1) What's the problem we meet actually with surefire? 1.1) Does someone have an idea to solve it? 1.1.1) Is there some good-soul to apply and test these solutions? 1.2) Is there someone who really know well surefire and its way to work? 2) Does correcting surefire is the right answer? 3) A subtitute to surefire would be preferable? Again, I don't want to blame someone, I just want to find a (successful) exit to the current situation.
