dummy dependency on surefire 2.4

[Pierre Parrend <pi...@insa-lyon.fr>]

 Hello,

according to the mailing list, there are some troubles with the surefire 2.4
plugin.
 However, there is still more problems: the 'dummy' artifact seems to rely on
this version of surefire anyhow, which makes the whole maven building process
abort.

Does anyone knows whether:
- this is easy to patch by hand
- or the surefire 2.4 version will soon be available
- or some stable version of surefire 2.4 is available somewhere for manual
install 
- or can someone releave the dependency to the faulty plugin and make that the
'dummy' artifact does not prevent maven from building project ?

thanks. Following are the trace of the error I get,

best regards,

Pierre
