Maybe you could use two features peculiar to maven to achieve what you
want within the confine of a single project (although I think moving
integration tests out to another project is a good idea):
1. define a profile for each different kind of test you want to run:
perf, func, unit...
2. in each profile, configure different set of test executions. this
can be done by configuring surefire plugin (see
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/, it has a
zillion parameters to play with). If you use testNG, you can
define different test groups to be executed in each profile, if
you use Junit, you can include/exclude test files (you can also do
that with testNG of course).
3. configure the basic execution of surefire (ie. the one that gets
executed always) to just run unit tests.
Then running your tests is a matter of invoking maven with the right
profile(s):
mvn -Pfunc-test
or
mvn -Pperf-test
or even
mvn -Pfunc-test -Pperf-test
