If you are using Maven then i would simply use the surefire plugin and run tests as part of the build:

<plugins>

    ...

      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>RELEASE</version>
        <configuration>
          <suiteXmlFiles>
            <suiteXmlFile>testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>
          </suiteXmlFiles>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

    ...

</plugins>

Just specify the path to your testng.xml and take advantage of it if you can use this kind of configuration. It allows for tons of parametrization and i have used it extensively in my projects.
