Would you open a pull-request for this issue in GitHub?
You should implement Filter of test classes which use annotations @Test(groups) in TestNG classes or @Category in JUnit. If you need any help feel free to ask.

> When the "groups" tag is used with "resuseForks" as false, a new fork is created for every test, not just the one in the group tag. The tests which don't match the group aren't ran, but a fork is still created and destroyed for every test, which is very inefficient.

>             </configuration>
>         </execution>

> The forking can be seen when running maven in debug mode: {{mvn test -X}} and searching for the text "Forking command line"
