> In Jenkins sources @ 919bab8, run:
> {{mvn -f test/pom.xml -Dtest=CoreJellyTest -Dtest.excluded.groups=org.jvnet.hudson.test.FailsOnCloud test}}
> You will get errors from every test case in this suite. When {{test.excluded.groups}} is not defined, it passes.
> This property just sets {{excludedGroups}} for the benefit of some unrelated JUnit 4 tests in the same module which use {{@Category}}. But turning it on apparently changes how JUnit 3 tests are run, too. The named suite has a {{public static Test suite()}} method which creates a subclass of {{TestSuite}} that overrides {{void run(TestResult)}}; when {{excludedGroups}} is defined, a plain {{TestSuite}} is created which fails to set the proper context for test cases and fails utterly.
> Refactoring this test suite to use JUnit 4 idioms is probably not an option at the moment for compatibility reasons. Why is Surefire failing to correctly run JUnit 3 tests just because groups are defined?
