-----------------------------------------------------------

After chatting with Cédric, TestNG will be adding the following new Listener interfaces.

IConfigurable (callback to veto BeforeClass/AfterClass/Before/After methods)
IHookable (Listener v. of of Test execution hook)

TestNG Beta can be found at: http://testng.org/betas

With this we should be able to create

@Listeners(Arquillian.class)
public class MyTest {}

> This issue is a research and development task to determine if there is an alternative approach that can be used, rather than inheriting from the Arquillian base class, to hook a TestNG test into the Arquillian functionality. JUnit offers a @RunWith annotation which is what the JUnit module uses. The closest hook TestNG seems to offer is the ITestListener interface. However, the question becomes, how does that map to the requirements:
> @BeforeSuite -> start container (~ ITestListener.onStart)
> @BeforeClass -> deploy (??)
> TestMethod/IHookable -> remote call (??)
> @AfterClass -> undeploy -> (??)
> @AfterSuite -> stop container -> (~ ITestListener.onFinish)
> There was discussion on this thread about supporting @RunWith in TestNG: http://markmail.org/message/fxm6bddk6wzqa4yp
