             Summary: Add explicit dependency on surefire-testng
                 Key: ISPN-10043
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-10043
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Build
    Affects Versions: 9.4.9.Final, 10.0.0.Beta2
            Reporter: Dan Berindei
            Assignee: Dan Berindei
             Fix For: 10.0.0.Beta3, 9.4.10.Final


We need to be able to collect all the dependencies in a private repository and run the build without access to Maven Central for the product.

{{maven-surefire-plugin}} doesn't have an explicit dependency on {{surefire-testng}}, instead it resolves it dynamically when it finds {{TestNG}} in the classpath. This means {{surefire-testng}} and its transitive dependencies are not detected automatically and need to be imported manually. 

When a dependency is not imported, it is pretty hard to debug: there is only a warning during the build:

{noformat}
[WARNING] Missing POM for org.apache.maven.surefire:surefire-testng-utils:jar:3.0.0-M3
{noformat}

And then the failure message only mentions a specific class:

{noformat}
There was an error in the forked process
org/apache/maven/surefire/testng/utils/Stoppable
{noformat}

We should add an explicit dependency on {{surefire-testng}} on core, like the modules using {{JUnit}} have an explicit dependency on {{surefire-junit47}}, in order to allow automatic detection of its transitive dependencies and to get better error messages.
