how to skip all tests but still run explicitly

[Lisa]

I want to turn off all tests for a project but still be able to force a run
for all tests in a single class file by using a param on the mvn command
line but can not figure out how to do this.

I edited the pom.xml and specified to turn off all tests, however when I
type:


mvn -Dtest=BootStrapTest clean test

the test does not run.  I explicitly told it to run all tests in
BootStrapTest, but apparently this does not override all the
<skip>true</true> attrib.  

Is there a way to override the <skip> while running maven from the command
line?

Here is my <build> section
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <skip>true</skip>
                    <useFile>false</useFile>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

any help would be greatly appreciated.
