[cbi-dev] To consumers of eclipse-platform-parent pom: skipTests value c

["David M Williams" <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I know some "CBI users" take
advantage of the eclipse platform parent pom. If you do, 
this note is to give you a warning that
in our parent pom, 
 
<skipTests>true</skipTests>
is now 
<skipTests>false</skipTests>
See bug
443174 [1]

So, if consumers do not want that new
behavior (of running unit tests of test-bundles after they are built) then
you will 
either need to set the property <skipTests>true</skipTests>in the appropriate pom files, or if you want 
all of them skipped, can specify -DskipTests=true
on the mvn command line. 

At the moment, it is planned to only
make this change in master (4.6.0), and leave 'maintenance' (4.5.2), as
it was, with <skipTests>true
but, I'm open to suggestions if enough
platform committers think maintenance should be changed too so you may
want to watch or 
comment in  bug
443174 [1].

Thanks,
