Robert Scholte commented on MNG-4979:
-------------------------------------
By giving the configuration a final version, you'll turn it into a constant,
replacing the expression to a specific value that cannot be overridden via
commandline. That's a feature.
The proper way to solve this is by changing its value via properties:
{code:xml}
<properties>
<skipTests>false</skipTests>
</properties>
{code}
Now you can override it via commandline.

> Key: MNG-4979
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-4979
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugins and Lifecycle
> Affects Versions: 2.2.1
> Reporter: Stefan Birkner
> Priority: Major
>
> See the attachements for a sample project of the surefire integration tests.
> Its pom sets the skipTests option of the surefire-plugin to false.
> <plugin>
> ...
> <configuration>
> <skipTests>false</skipTests>
> </configuration>
> </plugin>
> This configuration is not overriden by the appropriate command line parameter:
> mvn -DskipTests=true test
> Executing this line will set the skipTests parameter of the Surefire plugin
> to false and the tests will not be skipped.
