maven surefire plugin - specifying a single test - does NOT run

Question

I have this maven profile setup.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.8</version>
    <configuration>
        <includes>
            <include>com.something.test.X.java</include>
        </includes>

        <properties>
            <property>
                <name>reporter</name>
                <value>org.testng.reporters.XMLReporter</value>
            </property>
            <property>
                <name>listener</name>                          
                <value>Listener</value>
            </property>
        </properties>

        <systemProperties>
            <property>
                <name>x.host</name>
                <value>${server.ip}</value>
            </property>
            <property>
                <name>http_port</name>
                <value>${http_port}</value>
            </property>
            <property>
                <name>https_port</name>
                <value>${https_port}</value>
            </property>
            <property>
                <name>jmx_remote_port</name>
                <value>${jmx_remote_port}</value>
            </property>
        </systemProperties>

        <systemPropertyVariables>
            <x.host>${server.ip}</x.host>
            <env.BUILD_NUMBER>${env.BUILD_NUMBER}</env.BUILD_NUMBER>
            <env.HOSTNAME>${env.HOSTNAME}</env.HOSTNAME>
        </systemPropertyVariables>
    </configuration>

    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>test</id>
            <phase>integration-test</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>test</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <skip>false</skip>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

When i run the profile, the test included does not run! What am i doing wrong? i even tried it with the suitexmlfile but i get a parsing error where it cannot find the class.

As Andrew Logvinov suggested, you should remove .java from the name of the test you include. In general, test coordinates are specified as <class-name>[#<method-name>] .
