---------------------------------------------

I think adding a message attribute sounds like a good solution

> Tests that are skipped with a @Ignore("Test doesn't work") annotation only appear in the report as an increment in the "Skipped" column. Name of the skipped testcases is also reported. However, the reason (i.e. "Test doesn't work") is not reported.
> Quick look at the source code, it seems that it is not implemented:
> In class: org.apache.maven.plugins.surefire.report.TestSuiteXmlParser
> {code:java}            else if ( "skipped".equals( qName ) )
>             {
>                 testCase.addFailure( "skipped", "skipped" ); // TODO extract real reasons
>                 currentSuite.setNumberOfSkipped( 1 + currentSuite.getNumberOfSkipped() );
>             }{code}
