[jira] Commented: (MNG-441) surefire plugin needs to be able to fork tests

["Andy Glick (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-441?page=comments#action_46387 ] 

Andy Glick commented on MNG-441:
--------------------------------

Is the intention to have M2 do the forking, or will the forking behavior be added to surefire, and be passed from the plugin to surefire by parameter? That seems like a better separation of concerns. 

The differences between surefire and the JUnit Ant Task are pretty significant, and surefire's native mode is to run tests in separate threads, using an isolated class loader so it might be a good idea to get the surefire guys input concerning forking the test cases.
