So basically each ftest artifact for an example is independent of all the other tests. The artifact is fetched from Maven repository during integration-test phase if ftest profile is activated. The interval dependency allows as to cover more of example without need changing dependency in after each ftest is released.

But thanks for the tip, putting all the configuration into <pluginManagement> tags works fine, and requires only adding about 15 lines into each examples's ftest profile, which is not that bad. > > b/ User is required to pass reference to ftest.properties file with > > -Dftest.properties, but this file is not a part of example > > distribution.
