Nondex groups/excludedGroups not able to work with

[MyEnthusiastic]

Problem

For many Apache repos like OptaPlanner, ActiveMQ Artemis, logging-log4j2, the nondex build fails in the middle to make the finding flaky test process troublesome, in detail groups/excludedGroups Mojo is needed during the execution process of the nondex (https://github.com/TestingResearchIllinois/NonDex/blob/875fdd02435fef3e707e1032f85b6aa4609533c4/nondex-maven-plugin/src/it/excluded-groups-it/module1/pom.xml#L20C67-L20C67), but not sure why in some sub-module that Mojo can not execute because these sub-module do not support certain version of Junit?
