[jira] [Created] (SUREFIRE-1235) rapid test execution support needed

Mark created SUREFIRE-1235:
------------------------------

             Summary: rapid test execution support needed
                 Key: SUREFIRE-1235
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1235
             Project: Maven Surefire
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.19.1
            Reporter: Mark


Many IDEs have seemingly implemented their own rapid test unit execution infrastracture. Netbeans is still lacking, and I think for good reason.

https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238543

Instead of every IDE running its own rapid test execution infrastructure, I'd prefer maven, in particular the surefire plugin, to provide some solution to the problem.

My proposal: do you know "mvn jetty:run"? It starts a jetty server and can be configured to scan the class path for changes. And it reloads when it detects them. Wouldnt that be a nice solution for surefire to provide rapid test execution? ie. provide some long running (non-terminating) mode where a) IDEs can trigger single test executions and b) it scans/listens to class path changes in order to re-run tests.
