[Bug]: maven-surefire-plugin version and configuration issues

Bug report

The tck docs provide examples of using a <maven.surefire.plugin.version>2.22.2</maven.surefire.plugin.version> and incomplete examples of how to set the groups property, and do not use the jakarta.tck.profile setting, which is a required property by the tck. The current version of the surefire plugin is 3.2.5.

Failure to set the jakarta.tck.profile results in:

[ERROR] Errors: 
[ERROR]   ExtensionTests » IllegalState Could not obtain a value for system property: jakarta.tck.profile
[ERROR]   EntityTests » IllegalState Could not obtain a value for system property: jakarta.tck.profile
[ERROR]   StandaloneExampleTests » IllegalState Could not obtain a value for system property: jakarta.tck.profile
[ERROR]   PersistenceEntityTests » IllegalState Could not obtain a value for system property: jakarta.tck.profile
[ERROR]   SignatureTests » IllegalState Could not obtain a value for system property: jakarta.tck.profile
[ERROR]   ExtensionTests » IllegalState Could not obtain a value for system property: jakarta.tck.profile
[ERROR]   ComplexServletTests » IllegalState Could not obtain a value for system property: jakarta.tck.profile

[ERROR]   PersistenceTests » IllegalState Could not obtain a value for system property: jakarta.tck.profile
[ERROR]   ValidationTests » IllegalState Could not obtain a value for system property: jakarta.tck.profile

There seem to be more tests run than specified in the groups setting. If I just specify persistence in the in groups setting and core for jakarta.tck.profile, I'm seeing all tests still being run:

This example run is from the runner-web module of https://github.com/jakartaredhat/hibernate-data-tck

We need more complete example configurations for running sets of tests on a recent version of the surefire plugin.

Additional information

Provide a complete examples of the se-pom.xml and ee-pom.xml using 3.2.5 of surefire with examples of multiple groups and different standalone/core/web profiles.

It would be good to add a link to the tag expression syntax in the docs when discussing the groups and tags:
