Description

mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true

gives

Failed to execute goal on project spark-gremlin: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.apache.tinkerpop:spark-gremlin:jar:3.2.2-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact org.apache.tinkerpop:hadoop-gremlin:jar:tests:3.2.2-SNAPSHOT in apache.snapshots (http://repository.apache.org/snapshots) -> [Help 1]
[ERROR] 

The reason for this is that skipping tests also skips creating the test jar artefact for hadoop-gremlin.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJAR-138

Really the prefferred way for creating test jars is to have them as a separate project:
