Tests run twice using assembly plugin

[Steve Cohen <sc...@javactivity.org>]

I am using the assembly plugin to build a zip file for a project.  This 
uses a custom made assembly descriptor.



The pom for this projects lists several modules, each of which has its 
own pom and builds a jar.

For some reason I don't understand, this setup causes each submodule to 
be attempted to be built twice.

The first time through, each submodule is built and its tests run.  The 
second time through, maven determines that there is nothing to compile 
and doesn't do any building, but the surefire plugin doesn't realize 
that there's nothing to do and runs the tests again.

So the root problem appears to be - why is it building everything twice? 
  That would be the first thing to solve.  If this is unavoidable, is 
there some way to avoid the tests the second time around?

Thanks
