Quick FYI that the parent pom has had a minor change to the way that the skipTestsWithPrivateRequirements variable works.
So now, if you want a variable for "skip tests, or skip itests, or skip private requirements" that variable is skipTestsWithPrivateRequirements [1].
If you're a project like jbosstools-server and have integration tests you sometimes run, sometimes don't, you can now key the download of required runtimes (EAP, etc.) to the skipTestsWithPrivateRequirements variable instead of the skipPrivateRequirements variable [2], so that the time-consuming downloads are not done when skipTests or skipITests is true.
