Re: Any combo of TestNG/Surefire that works?

We gave up and created our own maven-testng-plugin last week.
We were able to make Maven2/Surefire 2.2 work (using the testng.xml
option), but with major limitations:
1. The latest available version of testng for maven is 5.1
2. Surefire plugin does not provide most of the command line/ant
options of TestNG (like listeners for example)
3. Surefire reports are limited (compared to the TestNG reports)
4. Once you use Surefire2.2/TestNG5.1 with testng.xml, you can't
control the include/exclude options from the build level

We still have some issues with our in-house plugin:
- Integration with JUnit (we have a mixed test environment) is not
working yet
- Stack trace printed in a single line
- If using the testng.xml, the test cycle runs twice
- It is only for JDK1.5 (just because that is the only version we
need)

But considering the cons and pros, we just had no other option.

After we will have our plugin running for couple of weeks and stable
enough, I plan to upload it to one of the available open source
servers.
