I'm not following what this class helps do that surefire not already 
does ?

How would this be used to group tests within the same test plugin into 
something I can run ?

for me it looks like this one just picks up *all* test classes which is 
already possible today with junit launch to just have it run all tests 
found in a package or project ?
