Ok, some pom wizardry will be needed to avoid that. The testsuite/mixed-domain module isn’t run via -DallTests so looking at the setup of that one my lead you to the magic potion. Or someone reading this can tell you. ;)

Is there any property that defines how to have "(local) access to all of the NoSQL databases”?

I ask because in the case of testsuite/mixed domain, there is — a property that tells the testsuite the dir to look in to find zips of previous releases. So then we just used that property to control whether the maven profile for that part of the suite is enabled and killed 2 birds with one stone. There’s no -Dts.mixed-domain involved as that would just have been an extra thing to set.
