Description

I have a project using both Surefire and Failsafe for running tests. I would like to be able to run all tests, only Surefire tests, only Failsafe tests or no tests by supplying command line flags.

-DskipTests skips all tests
-DskipITs skips Failsafe tests

It would be nice if Surefire had an extra "skip tests" flag that wasn't shared with Failsafe, similar to skipITs, so I could disable only the Surefire tests.
