Andy Glick commented on MNG-441:
--------------------------------

This is progressing - I have hacked a way (on windows) to fork Surefire tests 
once and have successfully executed the tests from the surefire subproject 
using the surefire-booter to fork the Surefire class - the reason for the hack 
is that there is a problem with plexus-utils - it seems that under windows, 
which i am using, classpaths with embedded spaces cause runtime.exec to fail 

in addition I'm not driving this with the surefire plugin, but am emulating the 
surefire plugin. the emulator calls the SurfireBooter class with the same 
arguments + forkMode aas the plugin

i have filed PLX-161 which reports the plexus-utils issue

> surefire plugin needs to be able to fork tests
