> Currently, one has to provide TestNG suite files individually because the parameter {{sutieXmlFiles}} is of type {{java.io.File[]}}. This approach does not scale well when one wants to run several/dozens of those files. A motivating use-case would be to get TestNG to run a single test class per suite.
> Specifying a fileset (like the one used by the maven-clean-plugin to specify additional clean locations) instead of a file array would make things much easier. This fileset parameter could be defaulted to a base directory like "src/test/config/testng" and an include filter of "*.xml" such that the user simply needs to drop his suite XML files into that folder and Surefire finds them automatically ("convention over configuration").
