As you might expect, all Surefire does is call TestNG directly; we don't
directly call @BeforeMethod, @Test, etc.

If you're having a problem with a TestNG test that you believe should be
working, please file a bug on jira.codehaus.org; please also attach a
minimal Maven project that reproduces the problem. Ideally a test like
this should be nothing more than a pom.xml file and a couple of TestNG
classes in appropriate directories. (Please don't include any spring
classes in this test case unless it's absolutely necessary to do so.)
