Tibor Digana closed SUREFIRE-1426.
----------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Bug

[~dan.berindei]
The project suceeds if you use POM and Surefire and JUnit config correctly.
It does not matter if you use {{-Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true}} or not.
The most important is the difference between JUnit and TestNG in {{excludedGroups}}.
TestNG has string group but JUnit has class or interface and {{<excludedGroups>bogusGroup</excludedGroups>}} has not such class in your project.
If you used any class, e.g. {{<excludedGroups>ATest</excludedGroups>}}, the group would not have effect because you do not use {{@Category}} JUnit annotation but the build would be successful even if no test is to run.
The problem is that there is ClassNotFoundException or NoClassDefFoundError because there is no such class called {{bogusGroup}}.

> We have a reactor with many modules, and also a few random test failures. We want to run the tests of all the modules even if a test failed in the core module, so we use {{mvn -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true}}. {{mvn --fail-at-end}} only builds the modules that do not depend on the module with a failed test.
> The problem is that fork crashes like this one are written to the surefire reports, so Jenkins ignores them:
