This works, but I think using -Dmaven.test.skip.exec=true is a better
practice... skipExec does exactly what you want and not anything else.
More generally, I want to try to spread awareness of maven.test.skip.exec
and advocate that people use it instead of maven.test.skip. When we
suggest skipping tests, we should always try to suggest using
maven.test.skip.exec instead of just maven.test.skip.
[Arguably, very few people want maven.test.skip to skip test-compile,
since compiling the tests is rarely time consuming or failure prone...
long term, we might want to disable that property association on the test
compiler.]

On those 95% many use the allready available maven.test.skip.exec, that is
ONLY a convenience way to skip tests, but this is NOT recommended. So what
is discussed here is only a shortcut !

Re: maven.test.skip.exec
Posted by Ralph Goers <Ra...@dslextreme.com>.
If you have a super pom that all your projects inherit from then this
solution is workable. You probably want one so that your organization
can configure things like the enforcer plugin to make sure all your
projects follow the same rules. But if you can't do that then this
solution doesn't work very well.

It's a hack when 95% of people have need for these changes and
everyone does it differently and then we're back to the bad parts of
ANT...
(IMHO what is wrong with ant is that everyone has a completely
different build.xml and you need to figure it out every time.)

I agree with brett.
POM properties can be used as shortcut for plugins configuration, to enable
profiles or for such use cases. They are not hacks.

Yeah, except when they move onto a different project and are wondering
why it does not work any more... (so it's a hack and a hack is a hack.
now we are just left arguing over how many angels can dance on the
head of a pin)
At least SUREFIRE-417 will cure that problem.
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and tastes like a duck,
it's a duck... but unfortunately there is no such test for chicken and
you are always left wondering is this cat?

If you document it for the users of the build, I wouldn't consider

There's always the one shot:
<artifactId>maven-surefire-configuration</artifactId>
<configuration>
<skipExec>${cheat}</skipExec>
</configuration>
...
<properties>
<cheat>false</cheat>
</properties>
...
then:
mvn -Dcheat=true test

cool.
It's not just me, but hoards of developers who's hands will now be
saved from RSI due to excessive typing

Just for you, I've filed SUREFIRE-417 (Make new "skipTests" parameter to
replace skipExec). ;-)
I've got to fix SUREFIRE-416 anyway, and I'd forgotten that this has
always bothered me. :-)
"mvn -DskipTests" is short enough, right? I thought about making it
"skipTest" but I thought it might sound like we were skipping the entire
"test" lifecycle phase...?

Just for you, I've filed SUREFIRE-417 (Make new "skipTests" parameter to
replace skipExec). ;-)
I've got to fix SUREFIRE-416 anyway, and I'd forgotten that this has
always bothered me. :-)
"mvn -DskipTests" is short enough, right? I thought about making it
"skipTest" but I thought it might sound like we were skipping the entire
"test" lifecycle phase...?

Can we make the property shorter and easier to remember...
that's what I liked about the -Dtest=0 hack
