Hi Kevin,
the best suggestion i can give is simply make a separate module where the integration tests should be moved to...
This has the advantage having different location for them, cause they are more than unit tests which is expressed by using a separate module furthermore you have the configuration for the integration test within a separate module which is more flexible this includes the configuration of maven-failsafe-plugin as well.
maven-failsafe-plugin should be used cause it supports a different naming schema for your integration tests (*IT.java see docs of maven-failsafe-plugin) and you can check the results of the integration tests via maven-failsafe-plugin:verify separately...and break the build if you like...
Apart from the above integration tests should run at an other phase (pre-integration-test,integration-test, post-integration) and NOT in test phase...which is handled by maven-failsafe-plugin (see docs http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/usage.html)
So if you like to run your unit tests parallel you can configure the maven-surefire-plugin which does not influence your integration tests...
I would also suggest to put the integration tests into src/test/java within the separated module....

Right now I have an overlap of unit and integration tests and I want to tear out my integration tests and keep them separate. This way our unit tests execute fast and integration testing takes a bit longer. … and now I’m trying to figure out the best strategy for that. Reading this: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Maven+and+Integration+Testing seems to not solve the problem. Seems to me the easiest would be to just have src/main/integration-tests … but would I have to use failsafe or surefire? I’m not sure why I would need another plugin for this. Maybe someone can enlightenment me with some maven wisdom?
