Introduce annotation to disable test based on active Spring profile [SPR-11677]

Torsten Krah opened SPR-11677 and commented

I've looked at the @IfProfileValue and @ActiveProfiles annotations, but neither does what I am searching for.

We are using the "spring.profiles.active" system property to activate different profiles, even at the test level -- e.g. "h2, default" or something else.

We have tests which are only for Oracle and should therefore only be run if the "oracle" profile is active, but I've found no way to express this on the test class itself.

A dedicated annotation would be nice to support this.

Affects: 4.0.3

Start by reading the existing @IfProfileValue and @ActiveProfiles annotations and review the linked issues for prior decisions about profile handling. Define how a test class or method should be enabled by the active Spring profile, then add coverage showing Oracle-only tests run only when the oracle profile is active.
