Don't we get around this by only specifying certain test categories or even individual tests? Would better documentation/examples on how to do that solve the problem equally well? When building on Hudson, isn't one 20 hour build the same thing a 20 one hour module builds? What did I miss? I'm not trying to rubbish all the effort that has gone into the Maven build (and that other one the name of which escapes me). I do apologise if it looks that way. I'm just trying to understand.
