As we can see, the skip feature is very useful and the demand is high.
Some plugins like DbUnit, Hibernate3, SQL, PMD have implemented this
feature.
For some others, a jira is created : checkstyle (
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-43),
antrun (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANTRUN-65)...
So I wonder, if it will not be better to can manage this feature at the
maven or plexus level
instead of the plugins level.
It could also be interesting to define some categories like :
- maven.test.skip
- maven.analysis.skip (cf.
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-43)
- ...
