We are pleased to announce the Maven Test Plugin 1.4 release! 

http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/test/

Run JUnit tests. 

===============================================================================

Changes in this version include:

  Fixed bugs:

o You can now specify whether the source (java) or classes (class) files are 
  searched when using the test plugin via the property: 
  maven.test.search.classdir. It defaults to use (java) to preserve backwards 
  compatibilty. Using (class) allows you to work with alternative languages 
  that compile to bytecode like Groovy 
o Check if unitTest tag is present in pom before copy resources. 

  Changes:

o Apply MAVEN-309. Reorganise classpaths so that it's test, build, 
  dependencies and then JUnit Fixes MAVEN-309.
