[Surefire]Compilation of unit tests even if skip=true

["jeremy_soula-maven@yahoo.fr" <je...@yahoo.fr>]

Hello,

When i configure surefire in the pom in order to skip the tests, 
compilation of unit tests are done.
But when i use the command line configuration (-Dmaven.test.skip=true), 
compilation of unit tests are not done.

Has someone the same behavior? Is it a bug (already known?)

thx for help

P.S: i use maven-2.0.7, jdk 1.4 et  windows XP. This is the 
configuration of the surefire plugin in the pom:
<plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.3</version>
                <configuration>
                    <skip>true</skip>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

Hello,

-Dmaven.test.skip=true will in addition not compile the tests vs
-Dtest=false will only skip execution.

It's a feature. 

The maven-compiler-plugin respects the same environment varaible as surefire:
See:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/testCompile-mojo.html#skip

so if you pass it on command line both plugins respect it and skip the tests 
(compiling or running)

if you use pom.xml to configure your must configure both plugins.

kind regards,
Janning
