title: Howto have maven surefire execute JUnit and TestNG test properly?
body: <p>Since a while it is possible to configure maven surefire to execute jUnit tests and testNG tests in one build. I won't expand on the reasons why I'm doing that (ok, hint: testNG is our standard framework but some frameworks like <a href="http://jnario.org/" rel="noreferrer">jnario</a> require jUnit).</p>
  
  <p>The general way to do it is to configure the surefire plugin like this:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;plugin&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-surefire-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;version&gt;${surefire.version}&lt;/version&gt;
      &lt;dependencies&gt;
          &lt;dependency&gt;
              &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.maven.surefire&lt;/groupId&gt;
              &lt;artifactId&gt;surefire-junit47&lt;/artifactId&gt;
              &lt;version&gt;${surefire.version}&lt;/version&gt;
          &lt;/dependency&gt;
          &lt;dependency&gt;
              &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.maven.surefire&lt;/groupId&gt;
              &lt;artifactId&gt;surefire-testng&lt;/artifactId&gt;
              &lt;version&gt;${surefire.version}&lt;/version&gt;
          &lt;/dependency&gt;
      &lt;/dependencies&gt;
  &lt;/plugin&gt;
  </code></pre>

  <p>This works quite well, jUnit tests and testNG tests get executed.</p>
  
  <p>BUT - now I see that testNG tries to execute the jUnit tests too (and maybe vice-versa) - with no success, of course, because it won't see any of its annotations, but it looks like it re-marks the tests to "passed"... anyway, some reporting tools don't show test fails in jUnit tests anymore unless I comment the second dependency entry.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any better way to configure surefire so that tests from both frameworks are executed ONLY by their test runners? </p>
