Maven resources plugin does not honour maven.test.skip flag -------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRESOURCES-131 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRESOURCES-131 Project: Maven 2.x Resources Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.4.3 Reporter: Kostis Me According to the official Maven documention the flag maven.test.skip means that tests will not be compiled at all. If tests are not compiled then there is no need for the resources plugin to copy the test resources in the output folder. This has a dentrimental effect to Maven project with thousands of integration tests that use a lot of resources (e.g XML files, ZIP files, images.) The reason for this is that even if one uses the maven.test.skip flag in order to speed up the build, the maven resources plugin still takes a lot of time copying the test resources. It makes no sense for the plugin to copy the test resource if they are not going to be used at all (the maven.test.skip flag) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
