Mark, I think either of these could be a nice addition, assuming others agree.
As I'm often forgetful as well, I just enabled them by default in my Netbeans IDE. I'm sure other IDEs (Eclipse, IDEA) also allow you to configure what the IDE runs when you say "Package" or "Build" (or whatever the IDE wants to call it). So, for NetBeans, I've told it when I select "Build", I want it to run 'mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=false" rather than the default setting. However, I wouldn't be against having it auto-enable if you have a particular file or Environment variable set -- that way it's also auto-enabled from your command-line (if that's how you prefer to do things). - Tim On 9/2/2010 2:28 PM, Mark H.
