One way around the excludes hack is to adopt a different directory structure for it tests and unit tests. For example
src/test --> unit tests src/itest --> integration tests Jason -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Connolly [mailto:stephen.alan.conno...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2009 12:12 PM To: Maven Users List Cc: Maven Users List Subject: Re: [ANN] Failsafe Maven Plugin 2.4.3-alpha-1 released. I am not opposed to doing so. the block for me is my lack of Apache commit access. there are valid arguments for keeping these as separate plugins though, eg the <excludes>none</excludes> hack that people used to configure surefire for multiple executions; debugging tests from an IDE; skipping one type of tests, etc but at the end of the day, if we can find a way to combine to one plugin, I'm fine with that Sent from my [rhymes with myPod] ;-) On 26 May 2009, at 19:58, Paul Benedict <pbened...@apache.org> wrote: > Will there be an effort to add the integration testing features to the > original?
