Major Description
Currently the surefire plugin configuration defines the following exclusion:
.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<forkMode>always</forkMode>
<includes>
<include>**/Test*.java</include>
</includes>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*$*</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
AFAICT the '**/*$*' does not resolve to anything meaningful.
Adding support to exclude one or more tests via Maven property, i.e. '-Dtest.exclude=<TESTCLASS>' would be useful.
