Well how I normally do something like that is I put the failsafe execution in a profile, which by convention is called `run-its`
So to build everything and install in the local repository cache: mvn install To build everything and install in the local repository cache with integration tests run: mvn -P+run-its install The second invokation will also rebuild the artifacts. Note I typically will have the release profile activate the integration tests also such that the integration tests are run on all release artifacts always. If, however, you want to be able to test the build artifacts without rebuilding them, then you really just need to factor the tests into a separate module and just run that module. So, you would have a separate module called integration-tests that has its tests added via the run-its profile mvn install will install everything (including the dummy integration-tests module) mvn -Prun-its -pl integration-tests verify will just run the integration tests module with the integration test profile added (so that this time the integration tests are run) On 30 April 2013 12:48, Stephen Colebourne <scolebou...@joda.org> wrote: > On 30 April 2013 12:28, Stephen Connolly > <stephen.alan.conno...@gmail.com> wrote: > > What you actually want to do is run your second set of tests after the > > 'package' phase and before the 'install' phase.
