To skip running the tests for a particular project, set the skip property to true.
<project> [...] <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <skip>true</skip> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> [...] </project>
You can also skip the tests via command line by executing the following command:
mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
