So, I think I'm seeing another consideration here.

If I read Tibor correctly, he does not like the need to build a whole
java class in a jar file (or maybe just a jar file?) to express some
small customization.

But, at the same time, some of us would not be happy to be mixing
Maven-specific code into the middle of the test source code, since in
some environments it has to work in Maven and also in ant or something
else.

This highlights the Groovy idea -- or at least the idea of a DSL that
can be directly typed into the POM, which avoids both.
