Ok. I resolved the issue. The problem is that, I must use the " maven.test.skip.exec" parameter and not the "maven.test.skip" parameter while suppressing surefire. Using the former causes the test class compilation to occur but not their execution, which is what I need, while the latter suppresses the test class compilation itself. Thanks for all the help.
