Why is Surefire not executing my JUnit5 tests? - junit5

Question

I'm trying to convert one Maven SpringBoot (2.3.12) app from JUnit4 to JUnit5. I've read many different posts on how to do this.
I'm able to execute my JUnit5 tests in Eclipse.
My problem is that I am unable to get Maven Surefire to execute my JUnit5 tests. I've tried various configuration variations. When it gets to the Surefire step, it ONLY executes my old JUnit4 tests and simply ignores any JUnit5 tests. I've verified that if one of those JUni4 tests is executed from this, and I convert that test to JUnit5, it will then ignore that test. At this point, I'm only focusing on the tests that were using the Mockito runner, as they are simpler to convert than the Spring runner tests (the vast majority of which likely could be changed to just use the mockito runner).
This is what I have in the surefire plugin config:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<!-- <groups>UnitTest</groups> -->
<reuseForks>false</reuseForks>
<redirectTestOutputToFile>true</redirectTestOutputToFile>
<argLine>${surefireArgLine}</argLine>
<skipTests>${skip.unit.tests}</skipTests>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/component/*.java</exclude>
<exclude>**/contract/*.java</exclude>
<exclude>**/integration/*.java</exclude>
</excludes>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
<artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
<version>5.8.2</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I currently have "groups" commented out until I understand what it is doing without that.
This is an excerpt of one of the unit tests:
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Tag;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.ExtendWith;
import org.mockito.InjectMocks;
import org.mockito.junit.jupiter.MockitoExtension;
#ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)
public class BDSHelperTest {
Before I converted this to use the JUnit5 classes, it would execute when I run "mvn package". Now that I've converted it, Surefire is not executing it.
This is what I see at the start of the surefire step:
[INFO] --- maven-surefire-plugin:3.0.0-M5:test (default-test) # NotesMs ---
[INFO]
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] T E S T S
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------
At this point, it shows the test runs for all the old JUnit4 tests, but it doesn't run any of the JUnit5 tests.

I am the Apache developer of Surefire. I have created a project which proves that it works with Surefire 3.0.0-M5, JUnit Jupiter 5.8.2 and Mockito Extension.
Please do not use JUnit4 and Vintage in this case.
It is not necessary to use a dependency inside of the plugin.
Use a dependency in the project POM.
