----------------------------------------------------------------------
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. Sorry if I appear to have changed my mind; it's just a slight detour.
We'll get there in the end ;)

> 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.
