Building java projects from sources ...

[Petra Berg]

Hello all,

... for better understanding and little local patches I deploy the 
current IdP packages by local build from GIT-sources.

Unfortunately, there are always some packages where tests fail (out of 
the box from GIT) and no test packages are generated. I think it's not a 
problem, but test packages are reused for tests in other packages, so 
there are dependencies.
Maven needs to go through all dependencies before building the project - 
independent of scope.
That means, to build the hole project without tests (-DskipTests 
option), I need to temporary deactivate lots of test dependencies.

To avoid this, I found a trick:
For ignoring the test-scoped dependencies in case of skipping tests by 
skipTests property, I defined a profile with activation condition and 
moved all test-scoped dependencies there.

Just add a profiles section in POM file:

     <profiles>
         <profile>
               <activation>
                 <property>
                     <name>skipTests</name>
                     <value>!true</value>
                 </property>
               </activation>
               <dependencies>
                 <!-- test-scoped dependencies -->
             </dependencies>
         </profile>
     </profiles>

and move all test dependencies into it.
May I ask for this little change in the next release?


Best regards,
Petra Berg
