surefire plugin and TestNG plugin

[Marco Mistroni]

Hello all,
 i have recently used the testng plugin for Maven2, and i think i have found
a bug :(

here's my pom


<project>
   <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
   <groupId>root</groupId>
   <artifactId>ejbs</artifactId>
   <packaging>jar</packaging>
   <version>1.0</version>
   <name>enterprise java beans</name>
   <parent>
      <groupId>root</groupId>
      <artifactId>project</artifactId>
      <version>1.0</version>
   </parent>
   <dependencies>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>root</groupId>
         <artifactId>shared</artifactId>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>geronimo-spec</groupId>
         <artifactId>geronimo-spec-j2ee</artifactId>
     <scope>provided</scope>
       </dependency>
       <dependency>
         <groupId>jboss</groupId>
         <artifactId>jboss-ejb3x</artifactId>
         <version>4.0.4</version>
         <scope>system</scope>
         <systemPath>${basedir}\lib\jboss-ejb3x-4.0.4.jar</systemPath>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>jboss</groupId>
         <artifactId>ejb3-persistence</artifactId>
         <version>4.0.4</version>
         <scope>system</scope>
         <systemPath>${basedir}\lib\ejb3-persistence-4.0.4.jar</systemPath>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
         <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
         <version>4.6.1</version>
         <scope>test</scope>
         <classifier>jdk15</classifier>
      </dependency>

   </dependencies>
   <build>
      <plugins>


         <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
               <encoding>iso-8859-1</encoding>
            </configuration>
         </plugin>
         <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
         <suiteXmlFiles><suiteXmlFile>testng.xml
</suiteXmlFile></suiteXmlFiles>
        </configuration>
       </plugin>

      </plugins>
   </build>
</project>

Although the testng.xml has this content

<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://beust.com/testng/testng-1.0.dtd"; >

<suite name="Example" >
  <test name="Simple example" >
    <!--<classes>
      <class name="example1.Test1" />
      <class name="example1.EJB3Container" />
    </classes>-->
    <groups>
       <run>
          <include name="integration.ejb3"/>
       </run>
    </groups>
    <packages>
        <package name="example1"/>
    </packages>

  </test>
</suite>



This test (the only one present so far) does not belong to the group
configured
in testng

package example1;

import org.testng.annotations.Configuration;

import org.testng.annotations.ExpectedExceptions;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;

/**
 * This class
 *
 * @author Cedric Beust, Apr 26, 2004
 *
 */

@Test(groups = { "functest" }, enabled = true )
public class Test1 {

  @Configuration(beforeTestClass = true)
  public static void setupClass() {
    ppp("SETTING UP THE CLASS");
  }.......

anyone could help/have a look?   i would do it myself but i have never
debugged a maven plugin...
