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)
