Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-1675:
---------------------------------------------
The reason this isn't a bug, is because the accumulo-maven-plugin does one
thing: runs an instance of Accumulo during the build. While written to make it
easier to do testing, it does not *have* to be used for testing, it is not
intrinsically tied to testing, and it is non-intuitive to assume that it will
deactivate when tests are skipped. It simply runs when it is defined in the POM
to do so.
If required, it is entirely possible for a user to define it in a profile that
is deactivated with a skipTests property, or (perhaps more appropriate, given
the default binding) a skipITs property.
It should be pointed out that there's nothing magical about the "skipTests"
property in Maven. It is a property that just so happens to trigger specific
behavior in a few plugins (namely, maven-surefire-plugin and
maven-failsafe-plugin). This plugin was designed to execute at the
pre-integration-test phase, but it does not have to, and it should not be
assumed that the maven-failsafe-plugin, which does respond to the skipTests
property, will be used with this plugin. It should also not be assumed that the
appearance of skipTests property is an instruction for this plugin... because
it is well-known property of another plugin entirely.
However, all that said, it is a normal thing to deactivate the execution of a
plugin under several different conditions, and to enable that, I think that the
best route is not to have it respect skipTests, but instead, it should have its
own skip property (accumulo.skip?), which can be set with any of several build
profiles that a user wishes to configure.
