Is there a way not to run unit test when starting mvn appengine:devserver?

Question

Each time I run mvn appengine:devserver the JUnit tests are re-run. Is there a way to avoid this testing phase? I thought it was AppEngine specific but looking at the answers I see it may not be.

Answer 1

Have you tried:

mvn appengine:devserver -Dmaven.test.skip=true

which skips building the test artifacts.

Or

mvn appengine:devserver -DskipTests

which produces test artifact, but the tests don't run.
