Supporting Test Suites (@ArquillianSuite)

Currently, it is supported that JUnit test cases being run by Arquillian. This feature request is request for supporting test suites too to be run by Arquillian too. Idea is like:

@RunWith(ArquillianSuite.class)
@Suite.SuiteClasses(

{ TestCase1.class, TestCase2.class, .... }

)
public class AllTests{
@Deployment
public static JavaArchive createTestArchive()

{ return ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class,"test.jar"); }

}

The advantages of above approach for users of Arquillian framework are:

• Test cases don't needed to be modified to have: "@RunWith(Arquillian.class)" annotation. In other words, test cases will be pure JUnit code, and no Arquillian code (results in less coding for end users).
• It is not necessary to include the static "@Deployment" methods in all test cases any more, and only Test Suite need to define the archieving/deployment related setting/definitions.

The advantage of above approach for framework itself is:

• From performance point-of-view, it becomes possible for Arquillian to deploy all test cases in the Test Suite into J2EE container in one action (one deploy/undeploy for one test suite, instead of mulitple deploy/undeploy for each test case).
