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.

> 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.
