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

by scale I mean, we need arquillian-api changes every time a container/enricher is added/changed/removed..

> Allow the developer to declaratively specify the execution environment required for a given test to function. Then, Arquillian should filter out tests that require an execution environment that the target container doesn't provide. (In other words, only execute a test case if the target container provides the execution environment the test requires).
> To support this feature, we need to introduce the concept of an execution environment definition into the API and a mechanism for indicating which containers provide a given execution environment. The developer experience will be something like:
> @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
> @Target(ElementType.TYPE)
> @RequiresEnvironment(JavaEE6Environment.class)
> public @interface RequiresJavaEE6 {}
> @RunWith(Arquillian.class)
> @RequiresJavaEE6
> public class MyTestCase { ... }
> or
> @RunWith(Arquillian.class)
> @RequiresEnvironment(JavaEE6Environment.class)
> public class MyTestCase { ... }
> Formal proposals and prototypes will be submitted as branches in github.
