Allow Maven build to continue if a specific JUnit test fails

My Maven build uses JUnit tests with the Surefire plugin. If a test fails, an mvn install will fail, which is normally desirable, but sometimes we wish to check in all the tests in advance for a feature which is not fully implemented. We would like be able to specify certain tests as "known failures" which will log their failure but not stop the build. Is there a way to do this?

(I'm aware we can set testFailureIgnore to true to not fail on any test failures, but we'd still like to fail on 'unexpected' test failures)

"Known failures" seems like a bad practice to me. – thertweck Jun 10 '13 at 19:48
