How to skip unit tests when building with Maven

You can skip unit tests during Maven packaging by using the following command:

mvn package -DskipTests

Alternatively, you can use the following command:

mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true

Both of these commands can skip the unit testing phase during the packaging process. It’s important to note that the first command, -DskipTests, will only skip the unit tests but still compile the unit test code. On the other hand, the second command, -Dmaven.test.skip=true, will completely skip compiling and running the unit test code. Depending on your specific needs, choose the appropriate command to skip unit testing.
