[SUREFIRE-823] Surefire needs distinct (from failsafe) test skip

[jira-importer]

James Nord opened SUREFIRE-823 and commented

If you use both surefire and failsafe in the same project there is no way to skip unit tests but run failsafe tests (as the surefire -DskipTests=true flag is also used by failsafe).

The only way around this is to override the default surefire plugin configuration to change the skipTets property to use a different property - however this is combersome and the project may not belong to you (so each time you need to edit the project locally).

It would be beneficial if you could somehow bypass surefire unit tests but still run failsafe integration tests via the lifecycle.
(ie not using the goals directly as there may be some code gen or other that is needed in an eralier phase)

skipTests will be dropped in Failsafe plugin as it interferes with Surefire plugin. The Failsafe plugin has skipITs.
