    These example shows how to skip test when using m2.

    <project>
       ...
          <build>
             ...
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                  <skip>true</skip>
                </configuration>
             </plugin>
             ...
          </build>
