Hi, great work gentlemen. I've tested this on our project, where we have 1200 arquillian tests against a standalone glassfish 3.1, and using this extension easily cuts our total build time in half! Very excited about this :)

I've encountered one issue though, which is killing the maven build. The build correctly deploys the test archive only once, but it does not undeploy it after all integration tests have run. This leaves the test archive deployed. On the next build, the deployment fails because glassfish complains that the archive already exists. I've been looking at a way to make arquillian provide the --force argument to the glassfish deployment to force an override, but this does not seem to be possible with the current adapter.

Any ideas on how to fix this? In case it matters: I have set up the maven failsafe plugin to simply run all *ContainerIT tests, not to run a specific junit TestSuite.

> Currently, it is supported that JUnit test cases being run by Arquillian. This feature request is request for supporting test suites too to be run by Arquillian too. Idea is like:
> @RunWith(ArquillianSuite.class)
> @Suite.SuiteClasses( { TestCase1.class, TestCase2.class, .... } )
> public class AllTests{
> 	@Deployment
> 	public static JavaArchive createTestArchive(){
> 		return ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class,"test.jar");
> 	}
> }
> The advantages of above approach for users of Arquillian framework are:
> - Test cases don't needed to be modified to have: "@RunWith(Arquillian.class)" annotation. In other words, test cases will be pure JUnit code, and no Arquillian code (results in less coding for end users).
> - It is not necessary to include the static "@Deployment" methods in all test cases any more, and only Test Suite need to define the archieving/deployment related setting/definitions.
> The advantage of above approach for framework itself is:
> - From performance point-of-view, it becomes possible for Arquillian to deploy all test cases in the Test Suite into J2EE container in one action (one deploy/undeploy for one test suite, instead of mulitple deploy/undeploy for each test case).
