This is an enhancement change request. The idea here is to tag the tests with certain keywords e.g. "quality", "integration", "prod" etc. This tagging would be done using annotation.

Then allow the JUnit to run all the tests that are tagged with certain keywords. e.g. run all the tests that are tagged with key "quality".

This change requests is inspired from following posts.

I could not find a decent solution to above problem and though of adding this as a enhancement to JUnit 4.x
I have a solution ready and currently trying to figure out how to work with git.
