Heh - I know the feeling. I'm basing this on some examples and
discussion I found on running functional tests integrated into a Maven2
build. Not exactly what you're wanting, but the "on/off" switch
mechanism could be used almost identically.
I'm not a guru on making profiles work, but the gist would be to put all
the unit tests into a module under your master build, and instead of
defining them in the <modules>...</modules> XML stanza of the POM, set
it up in the <profiles>...</profiles> section. As an example:
<modules>
<module>example-jar</module>
<module>example-war</module>
</modules>
...
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>functional-test</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>enableCiProfile</name>
<value>true</value>
</property>
</activation>
<modules>
<module>functional-test</module>
</modules>
</profile>
</profiles>
And then when you wanted to invoke including that module in the "build",
you'd simple invoke the profile on the command line. i.e.
mvn clean test -P functional-test
Does that help?

Sorry - this makes my eyes go googly - can you explain a bit more in
detail?
We have everything modularized, but typically build from the topmost
level of the project. I was hoping to find a
-Dmaven.test.skipthese=<somelist> kind of a solution.
>From the commandline would be the best option. Specifying a profile via
the commandline would be second best.

If you bundle your tests into modules, you can define which modules are
dependencies with a profile, and then drive their "run/not run" based on
whether or not a profile is defined.

So I know about the:
-Dmaven.test.skip=true
setting, but is there a way to skip packages or modules worth of tests?
