Ryan Maki commented on MRESOURCES-131:
--------------------------------------
The biggest problem from not honoring the flag is definitely seen when there
are very large test data files to copy. It can also be a performance problem on
certain operating systems if there are a lot of small files. Even when the
tests are skipped these files fill up the ./target and the build never touches
them. In one of my builds I can see Maven pause on the testResources step over
and over throughout the lengthy build, even when I'm just running a quick 'mvn
install -Dmaven.test.skip' to get the current artifacts into my local
repository when I've synced changes.
(+1 obviously, many thanks for considering)
> Maven resources plugin does not honour maven.test.skip flag
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MRESOURCES-131
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRESOURCES-131
> Project: Maven 2.x Resources Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.4.3
> Reporter: Kostis Me
>
> According to the official Maven documention the flag maven.test.skip means
> that tests will not be compiled at all.
> If tests are not compiled then there is no need for the resources plugin to
> copy the test resources in the output folder.
> This has a dentrimental effect to Maven project with thousands of integration
> tests that use a lot of resources (e.g XML files, ZIP files, images.)
> The reason for this is that even if one uses the maven.test.skip flag in
> order to speed up the build, the maven resources plugin still takes a lot of
> time copying the test resources.
> It makes no sense for the plugin to copy the test resource if they are not
> going to be used at all (the maven.test.skip flag)
