james strachan commented on MNG-2348:
-------------------------------------
You can always work around sucky programs with lousy command line arguments
with aliases / custom scripts / environment variables. But that doesn't mean we
shouldn't make good programs with nice concise command line arguments for
*really really common* options that users type every day.
I dunno about you but I run maven builds on loads of different boxes & vmware
images and having to setup an environment variable on them all is a PITA. Why
can't we have a real simple command line argument for petes sake? :) Disabling
unit tests from running is something most developers need to ALOT (e.g.
building some other project you don't work on).
