junit - maven release:prepare skips test-jar -

i`m using maven ver. 3 following plugin generate separated *.jar file tests.

<plugin>     <groupid>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupid>     <artifactid>maven-jar-plugin</artifactid>     <version>2.4</version>     <executions>         <execution>             <id>core-tests</id>             <phase>package</phase>             <goals>                 <goal>test-jar</goal>             </goals>         </execution>     </executions> </plugin> 

and release plugin configuration looks following:

<plugin>     <groupid>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupid>     <artifactid>maven-release-plugin</artifactid>     <version>2.0-beta-8</version>     <configuration>         <releaseprofiles>release</releaseprofiles>         <preparationgoals>clean install</preparationgoals>         <generatereleasepoms>false</generatereleasepoms>         <scmcommentprefix>             release plugin -         </scmcommentprefix>     </configuration> </plugin> 

generating test classes in separated jar works fine until use:

maven clean deploy 

when i`m doing release test-jar not created:

-dresume=false release:prepare release:perform 

release output:

... [info] [info] [compiler:testcompile {execution: default-testcompile}] [info] [info] not compiling test sources [info] [info] [surefire:test {execution: default-test}] [info] [info] tests skipped. [info] [info] [jar:jar {execution: default-jar}] [info] [info] building jar: /home/tomcat/hudson_home/jobs/project-core/workspace/target/core-1.2-snapshot.jar [info] [info] [jar:test-jar {execution: core-tests}] [info] [info] skipping packaging of test-jar ... 

i alos tried use dskiptests without success

-dresume=false -darguments="-dskiptests" release:prepare release:perform -prelease 

or

-dresume=false -darguments="-dmaven.test.skip.exec=true" release:prepare release:perform -prelease 

how can generate test-jar during release? why skipped?

edit

i found problem occures when have active release profile. can`t find profile in parent pom. comes from? maven-release-plugin definitions?

resolved

i found profile release on hudsons .m2/settings.xml:

<profile>     <id>release</id>     <activation>         <activebydefault>false</activebydefault>     </activation>     <properties>         <username>*****</username>         <password>*****</password>         <skiptests>true</skiptests>         <maven.test.skip>true</maven.test.skip>     </properties> </profile> 

i needed remove maven.test.skip , works fine now.
