> Currently, it is possible to provide the 'test' pattern to the maven-surefire-plugin to include/exclude specific tests to be run.
> This can be set on the MavenProject instance of any plugin which runs prior to the surefire plugin.
> Since this is just a pattern of tests to include, it has the following shortcomings:
> * To excludes a single test, you need to add _all_ tests, minus the test to exclude
> * The order of the test patterns is not used when the tests get run.
> If there is no better means to control which tests get run and in which order from outside the surefire plugin, how do you suggest this be achieved? 
> This may require changes to maven core to allow attributes <String,Objects> be set as well as Properties.
