As for surfire, I am not sure that the name failsafe is the best one
(we have to look at the web site in order to understand what the
plugin is doing). I prefer when the name is self-contained,
something like it-maven-plugin.
my issue is that it-maven-plugin gives the impression that it is the
*only* integration test plugin. as long as surefire is called surefire
and not maven-test-plugin I do not see why we should call this it-
maven-plugin.
in the case of integration testing, there are many plugins that are
used for integration testing of java projects, eg invoker, selenium,
etc. do we really want one über integration testing plugin? I think
not... calling it junit-testng-and-or-pojo-test-class-runner-for-
integration-testing-maven-plugin is not really a runner IMHO either ;-)

ps my other candidate name was pokayoke-maven-plugin which also wins
the 8 character synonym of surefire contest
hmm now is there another usecase for running junit tests elsewhere in
the build lifecycle so I can create the pokayoke-maven-plugin ;-)

Folks,
I think that the failsafe-maven-plugin is ready to cut the first
alpha release. This release is dependent on the release of mojo-
parent version 21.
The Failsafe Plugin is a fork of the Surefire plugin designed to run
integration tests. The name was chosen for both because it is a
synonym of surefire and because it implies that when it fails, it
does so in a safe way.
The version number for the failsafe-maven-plugin is the version
number of the maven-surefire-plugin upon which it is based, hence
this is 2.4.3-alpha-1 as it is based off of surefire 2.4.3.
