I see two issues with your plan, though:

1. Buildhive is limited to 15 mins, and a reviewer wouldn't

necessarily wait for 2 hours to integrate a pull request anyway. So

the sequential build would be limited to Jenkins runs.

2. How do we select which tests run where? I remember we had to

disable tests precisely because configuring test groups in

testng/surefire didn't work.

I wouldn't oppose a good plan just because of some minor technical
difficulties. We can solve those in many ways.
# improve Arquillian

# make-your-own BuildHive by using same integration / have them lift
limitations. (i.e. trust Galder and give him some time..)

# fix/workaround TestNG / switch to JUnit / make your own
