             Summary: Deprecate skipTests in Failsafe Plugin
                 Key: SUREFIRE-1611
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1611
             Project: Maven Surefire
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Maven Failsafe Plugin
            Reporter: Tibor Digana
             Fix For: 3.0.0-M3


We had an ambition to add prefixes surefire and failsafe in the old system properties which do not have them. At the same time we should remove {{skipTests}} from {{maven-failsafe-plugin}} because this have been associated with unit tests for long and thus {{maven-surefire-plugin}}. On the other side the {{maven-failsafe-plugin}} has a better property to use {{skipITs}}. Since the {{skip***}} system properties are so famous and have been used everywhere, we should not add prefixes for those; otherwise we broke all the world. We can make it with other system properties. We want to remove deprecated config parameters in the last milestone of {{3.0.0}}. One more reason to do these unpopular changes is the fact that system properties without prefixes interfere with other plugins.
