[seam-dev] TCK-style testing for Seam Cron Module

You're right of course. The thing that seems to be getting in my way is 
actually the Surefire Maven plugin. I've created the TCK project 
separately and configured the Compile plugin to generate a 
seam-cron-asynchronous-tck-tests.jar which I'm then including in the 
asynchronous provider's project like so:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
            <artifactId>seam-cron-asynchronous-tck</artifactId>
            <version>${project.version}</version>
            <type>test-jar</type>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

However Maven still concludes that there aren't any test to run for that 
project. I suppose that's for good reason, but I'd like to work out how 
I can have these imported tests run by Surefire, rather than just the 
ones in src/test/java. I'll keep trying but please chime in if anyone 
has any ideas.

Would this require me to extend each of the TCK test classes in the 
provider project, in order to be able to add to the archive returned by 
the base method? This is something I wanted to avoid (even though it 
would clearly solve problem 1).
