Quarkus: Offer page to run tests in live coding mode

[emmanuelbernard]

quarkus:dev could offer a /quarkus/tests page which a way to run all tests or just a single test.
This is no different from an IDE run except we would benefit from and already loaded Quarkus (possibly).

A good use case is to appease test driven design people that feel like live coding is dangerous.

Or we can have a quarkus:test that will launch the test suite and relaunch them each time a class changes.
This is how a lot of JS framework do ...

I like the idea. Or mvn clean test -Dwatch ?

This links in with my 'developer console' idea, which is a local in browser developer tooling that can do things like this.

https://infinitest.github.io/ is a good plugin that does a similar job

How about adding both an optional flag (such as -DhotTests, -DcontinuousTests, -DwatchTests, etc.) to the Maven phase, as well as an interactive way, e.g. pressing <Enter>, to fire up both surefire & failsafe tests on demand.

The Open Liberty Plugin does it this way, and for me this way runs the tests quicker than in the IDE (due to initialization)
