Did I misunderstood something?
Are there counterpoints to use fragments and maven-surefire-plugin?
Are there other examples which are matching more closely to my usecase
in jboss tools codebase?
About using fragments, the only drawback I'm aware of is that one
cannot add a dependency to a fragment from their plugin. So it's not
possible for other tests to reuse some logic that is inside a
fragment. In the spirit of "treating tests as 1st class citizen", I
believe it's generally better to allow composition of test bundles
and to make them regular bundles.
