Run a single test method with maven

I know you can run all the tests in a certain class using:

mvn test -Dtest=classname

But I want to run an individual method and -Dtest=classname.methodname doesn't seem to work.

java maven unit-testing maven-2 maven-3

There is an issue with surefire 2.12. This is what happen to me changing maven-surefire-plugin from 2.12 to 2.11:

  1. mvn test -Dtest=DesignRulesTest

    Result:
    [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.12:test (default-test) on project pmd: No tests were executed!

  2. mvn test -Dtest=DesignRulesTest

    Result: [INFO] --- maven-surefire-plugin:2.11:test (default-test) @ pmd --- ... Running net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.java.rule.design.DesignRulesTest Tests run: 5, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 4, Time elapsed: 4.009 sec
