Tibor Digana commented on SUREFIRE-1611: ---------------------------------------- [~cguillaume] A single parameter is discussed in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1170 > Deprecate skipTests in Failsafe Plugin > -------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-1611 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1611 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Task > Components: Maven Failsafe Plugin > Reporter: Tibor Digana > Assignee: Tibor Digana > Priority: Major > Fix For: 3.0.0-M3 > > > We had an ambition to add prefixes surefire and failsafe in the old system > properties which do not have them. At the same time we should remove > {{skipTests}} from {{maven-failsafe-plugin}} because this have been > associated with unit tests for long and thus {{maven-surefire-plugin}}. On > the other side the {{maven-failsafe-plugin}} has a better property to use > {{skipITs}}. Since the {{skip***}} system properties are so famous and have > been used everywhere, we should not add prefixes for those; otherwise we > broke all the world. We can make it with other system properties. We want to > remove deprecated config parameters in the last milestone of {{3.0.0}}. One > more reason to do these unpopular changes is the fact that system properties > without prefixes interfere with other plugins. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
