maven surefire test plugin runs tests even if they are excluded: - maven

Question

i exclude all tests in plugin except my test suite:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.11</version>
<configuration>
<!--
<testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
<skipTests>true</skipTests>
-->
<parallel>both</parallel>
<threadCount>10</threadCount>
<forkMode>once</forkMode>
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/Test*.java</exclude>
<exclude>**/*Test.java</exclude>
<exclude>**/*TestCase.java</exclude>
</excludes>
<includes>
<include>ru.csbi.registry.CategorizedTestsSuite.java</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
<!--
<configuration>
<groups>ru.csbi.registry.IntegrationTestsNotRequiringContainerCategory</groups>
<groups>ru.csbi.registry.UnitTestsCategory</groups>
</configuration>
-->
</configuration>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.surefire</groupId>
<artifactId>surefire-junit47</artifactId>
<version>2.12</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
but all tests are executed.
Even if i delete my the only include in config it still runs all tests:
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/Test*.java</exclude>
<exclude>**/*Test.java</exclude>
<exclude>**/*TestCase.java</exclude>
</excludes>
<!--
<includes>
<include>ru.csbi.registry.CategorizedTestsSuite.java</include>
</includes>
-->
</configuration>
Here is the logs:

You need to remove configuration block from configuration block.
Like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.11</version>
<configuration>
<!--
<testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
<skipTests>true</skipTests>
-->
<parallel>both</parallel>
<threadCount>10</threadCount>
<forkMode>once</forkMode>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/Test*.java</exclude>
<exclude>**/*Test.java</exclude>
<exclude>**/*TestCase.java</exclude>
</excludes>
<includes>
<include>ru.csbi.registry.CategorizedTestsSuite.java</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.surefire</groupId>
<artifactId>surefire-junit47</artifactId>
<version>2.12</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
Nested configuration element makes no sense. As well as package name in your include (ru.csbi.registry.CategorizedTestsSuite.java).
