Skipping Tests
To skip running the tests for a particular project, set the skipTests property to true.
<project> [...] <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.4.2</version> <configuration> <skipTests>true</skipTests> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> [...] </project>
You can also skip the tests via command line by executing the following command:
mvn install -DskipTests
If you absolutely must, you can also use the maven.test.skip property to skip compiling the tests. maven.test.skip is honored by Surefire and the Compiler Plugin.
mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
