> surefire creates a synthetic TestSuite from all concrete classes that match its include configuration.  If one of these classes is not a proper JUnit TestCase (for example if it contains no test methods) surefire reports this as a test failure on the junit.framework.TestSuite$1 class, within the summary and surefire report, instead of an issue with the improper test class.  It does correctly flag the improper class as a failure as the plugin reports the test results on console but if you have many tests its easy to miss this.
> It would be nice if, in the summary and the report, the improper test class can be flagged as the failing class instead of the TestSuite class.
