Issue #92: Support JUnit Categories

[Ryan Bennetts]

Hello,

I'd like to contribute to infinitest. I'm only new.

I posted the following as a comment to issue #92 (Support JUnit Categories), but haven't got a response yet. I'm keen to get going, so if someone can confirm I won't be wasting my time that would be great. :)

-----------------------------
Hi, I've been looking into tackling this one. But before I go submitting any changes, I wanted to check a couple of things with everyone:

1) Categories are under the 'experimental' package of JUnit. Does anyone see a problem with adding support for an experimental JUnit feature to infinitest? (There is a request [junit-team/junit#966] to promote JUnit Categories from experimental, but I doubt we'll see this happen in 4.12 since it is already in beta.) It's worth noting that the big guys like maven and gradle already have support for these features (see the linked issue).

2) Just to clarify, I assume this issue is about specifying JUnit Categories in an infinitest.filters file to exclude tests in the specified Categories from running. That's my goal. Let me know if this issue represents something else (or something bigger) and I'll create a separate issue to track my thing.

I think I know what changes I'll need to make, and I'm keen to get started, so please let me know any feedback you have to the above.

Cheers,
