Thank you!! It works great for just two profiles, and it works ok for n profiles. Maintenance would be a bit difficult with numerous such profiles (excludes would need to be updated in several places when adding a new test), and it wouldn't be possible to activate more than one profile at a time.
Executing "mvn test -P2ndProfile,3rdProfile" would have the 3rd profile's excludes override the 2nd. I don't quite understand how the execution in <profile><executions>...</executions></profile> works, but if it were to work with surefire, one could exclude a pattern of tests in the main build, and include only certain patterns for separate unique executions of surefire. However, this works for me for now...
