Arnaud Bailly commented on SUREFIRE-141:
----------------------------------------

In my case, I would like to add a custom provider for generating coverage information during testing. This would allow coverage reports to be generated without the need to rerun tests.

> The current way that surefire determines which provider to use is hard coded and based on a project's dependencies.  I would like to write a custom surefire-provider and be able to specify to use that provider without having to patch the surefire plugin.  In my case I want to write a surefire-provider that will run Eclipse PDE Junits which wouldn't neccessarily have a specific dependency listed
