Jesse Glick commented on SUREFIRE-829:
--------------------------------------
Seems wrong to me. If the authors of {{Category}} had intended it to be
inherited, they would have marked it {{@Inherited}}. If they simply never
thought of this use case but agree that it should work, then a new JUnit
release should add the annotation. In neither case should Surefire be patched.

> Key: SUREFIRE-829
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-829
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Junit 4.x support
> Affects Versions: 2.12
> Reporter: Gayathri Muralidharan
> Assignee: Andreas Gudian
> Fix For: 2.15
>
> Attachments: SUREFIRE-829-common-junit48-20130506.patch,

>
> We have a parent class which is extended by all the unit test cases (multi
> module maven based project)
> It would be great if surefire plugin config looks for the category in parent
> class as well. This will avoid redundant @Category(UnitTestCategory.class)
> annotations, as we expect all unit test cases to extend the corresponding
> base class and the base class will alone be annotated with
> @Category(UnitTestCategory.class)
> Please let me know if this can be achieved by any other config.
> Thanks,
> Gayathri
