Since 2.7.3, you can execute a limited number of methods in the test
with adding #myMethod or #my*ethod. For example, type
"-Dtest=MyTest#myMethod" *supported for junit 4.x and testNg

This is a feature I've wanted for a long time. Once our upcoming
releases are done, I'll upgrade the surefire plugin to version 2.9 in
our root pom, and we'll be able to start using it.
