yes, I am familiar with this, but what I want is: 1. a pom file that excludes all tests by default 2. the ability to force all tests with a specific class by using -D switch
Currently I have not figured out how to do this. I know how to use the skip tag and exclude by pattern but then if I do that I can not force a specific class to run on demand because it gets filtered or skipped. The tests in question run some database insertion code, so I want all tests to be ignored by default if someone comes into the directory and runs a build. I do not want it mucking up the database, but I do want to provide the ability to run some specific tests for those people who know what they are doing and know the magic command to type.
