Tim Pizey commented on SUREFIRE-569:
------------------------------------
@Max Andersen completely agree, I am amazed, in the light of
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-attached-tests.html at the existence
of this bug.
I jarred my tests in 2008, assuming that this was the expected use case, then
blocked until now.
I do not want to have to manually maintain the test suite, but that seems to be
the only currently available mechanism.
> There should be a way to run unit tests from a dependency jar.

> In some cases it would be useful to have a set of tests that run with various
> dependency configurations. One way to accomplish this would be to have a
> single project that contains the unit tests and generates a test jar.
> Several test configuration projects could then consume the unit tests and run
> them with different dependency sets. The problem is that there is no easy
> way to run tests in a dependency jar. The surefire plugin should have a
> configuration to allow me to run all or a set of unit tests contained in a
> dependency jar.
