Description

The failsafe plugin allows its tests to be skipped using the skipITs property.
It would be very useful to have a skipUnits property defined in the same way for the surefire plugin.

At the moment to skip the surefire tests you have to use a form of skip or skipTest which also causes the failsafe tests to stop running.

With the new parameter it would be easy to run either, both or none.
