Use simpler Surefire include/exclude pattern in parent pom ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-19081 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-19081 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: build Affects Versions: 4.3.0.Alpha1 Reporter: Nick Boldt Assignee: Nick Boldt Priority: Minor Fix For: 4.4.x 1. In JBDS9, use these new default patterns for Surefire to define which test classes to run/exclude: {code} include = *Test*, *Test, *TestCase exclude = *Abstract* {code} 2. If that causes test failures because running incorrectly named abstract stuff, they can refactor, add their own root pom overrides, use a TestSuite, or use @Ignore in test classes. 3. If the count of tests run suddenly DROPS because the pattern isn't running the correct # of tests, they can add their own root pom overrides, or use a TestSuite.
