when using maven in CLI, we can run only one test with:

mvn test -Dtest="ExampleTestClass#exampleTestMethod

I was wondering if it is possible to execute a single test based on its displayName, like so:

@Test
@DisplayName("hello")
public void exampleTestMethod() {

}

mvn test -Dtest="ExampleTestClass#hello"

??

By default, this doesn't execute any test, but perhaps with some configuring?

No, that's not possible (unless you implement it yourself, as it is open source). Keep in mind that surefire is testframework agnostic: they all understand classes and methods. The -Dtest is used by all testframeworks, while the displayName annotation is JUnit specific.
