Description

See the attachements for a sample project of the surefire integration tests.

Its pom sets the skipTests option of the surefire-plugin to false.

<plugin>
  ...
  <configuration>
    <skipTests>false</skipTests>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

This configuration is not overriden by the appropriate command line parameter:
mvn -DskipTests=true test
Executing this line will set the skipTests parameter of the Surefire plugin to false and the tests will not be skipped.
