[Tibor Digana <ti...@apache.org>]

Hi,

This email was sent to @juherr (developer at TestNG) and maven development
group in ASF.

Can we filter out Test class using excluded groups right without use of
TestNG or JUnit instance?

See the Jira [1].

For instance if we access annotations @Test(groups) in TestNG classes or
@Category in JUnit , we could probably employ groups/categories while
TestNg/JUnit is not running (talking about in-plugin process).
Do you think this would be enough?
Considering TestNG suites.xml I would rather not use this improvement.
WDYT?

This mechanism would require maintenance due to JUnit 5 [2] Tags which are
similar to JUnit 4 included categories.
