1. In JBDS9, use these new default patterns for Surefire to define which test classes to run/exclude:

include = *Test*, *Test, *TestCase
exclude = *Abstract*

2. If that causes test failures because running incorrectly named
abstract stuff, they can refactor, add their own root pom overrides, use
a TestSuite, or use @Ignore in test classes.

3. If the count of tests run suddenly DROPS because the pattern isn't
running the correct # of tests, they can add their own root pom
overrides, or use a TestSuite.
