Kristian Rosenvold commented on SUREFIRE-833:
---------------------------------------------
I am slightly sceptical to this patch overall since we're going a bit far into
"being" a test framework. I'd like to see this discussed within the junit
project before creating all kinds of surefire specific junit extensions.
I know this has been discussed within JUnit. At the time it seemed to be like
they were considering doing /more/ of the annotation processing within the
framework and less within the runner. I believe there's already more options
for doing annotation processing within junit (which we dont use)
Please start this discussion on the junit mailing list and we'll take it from
there

> The current implementation of Surefire seems to look for explicit @Category
> annotations in the test classes. And will only consider those. Suppose I'd
> like to add a more concise annotation for this:
> @Category(IntegrationTests.class) <== JUnit @Category
> @Target({ElementType.TYPE})
> @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
> @Documented
> public @interface IntegrationTest {}
> Annotating my test class with @IntegrationTest does not work. Although I
> think it looks much better than repeating everywhere in my code
> "@Category(com.foo.bar.IntegrationTests.class)". For which I add an
> additional dependency in the interface class btw.
