title: maven exclude tests with surefire excludeTests option
body: <p>I have a large project with sub-projects and want to use <code>excludesFile</code> to exclude test failures, and ignore them until the tests are fixed. </p>
  
  <p>I believe there might be a way of achieving this with surefire plugin <code>excludesFile</code> option <a href="https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html#excludesFile" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. </p>
  
  <p>I am very new to maven and would like get some examples or pointers on how this can be achieved.  </p>
