> Currently some JAR containing a RunListener for JUnit must be located in the project's classpath (and pollutes the classpath with most likely unwanted transitive dependencies).
> An alternative is to use the 'additionalClasspathElements' configuration element in the maven-surefire-plugin's configuration. Unfortunately this cannot be used to specify another maven artifact directly - only JARs or class folders in the file system.
> It would be consistent to enable the usage of plugin dependencies ({{<dependencies>}} element in the {{<plugin>}} section of the POM) to load such classes:
> {code:xml}
> <plugin>
>     <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
>     <configuration>
>         <properties>
>             <property>
>                 <name>listener</name>
>                 <value>some.RunListener</value>
>             </property>
>         </properties>
>     </configuration>
>     <!-- 
>         reference the JAR containing the class some.RunListener as plugin dependency 
>         (this is possible from the Maven point of view, but currently does not work) 
>     -->
>     <dependencies>
>         <dependency>
>             <groupId>some.group.id</groupId>
>             <artifactId>some-artifact-id</artifactId>
>             <version>${some.version}</version>
>         </dependency>
>     </dependencies>
> </plugin>
> {code}
