Adopt the code in Surefire Provider

[Tibor17]

@cheeseng
I am the developer of the Apache Maven Surefire plugin.

I have realized that scala test plugin has similar configurations and it is pity that your engine is not applied already in Surefire Provider.

I want to kindly ask you if you would be open for including the code into Provider.
The provider is very specific test engine and surefire only executes the engine.

The providers can be implemented by another OSS projects and the users add a dependency in plugin. Another option is that the providers are in Surefire project.

I am 6 years in the Apache and Surefire. Maybe you talked with my older colleagues and maybe you discussed the inclusion of Scala Test Provider.

I developed a very minimalist but working Surefire provider for ScalaTest https://github.com/janhicken/surefire-scalatest

Feel free to use or adapt

@Tibor17 Please accept my sincere apology for replying so late, I somehow missed this message and only see this now. It will definitely be great if we can get it to work, it is indeed in our plan:

I am not sure where to start though, perhaps by porting/adapting code from @janhicken 's https://github.com/janhicken/surefire-scalatest ?
