You should configure the maven-surefire-plugin like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.19.1</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-platform-surefire-provider</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-M3</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
You only need to include the junit-jupiter-api artifact and only in test scope in your dependencies section:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-jupiter-api</artifactId>
<version>5.0.0-M3</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
Please see http://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/#running-tests-build-maven for more information.
Edit - From the same docs.
In order to have Maven Surefire run any tests at all, a TestEngine
implementation must be added to the runtime classpath.
