Answer 1

In order to run a single test you need the following from official documentation

mvn -Dtest=MyFirstTest test

or

mvn -Dtest=MyFirstTest,MySecondTest test

This is tested (and working) on maven 3.

Then you can avoid using the profiles. I had the same problem as I needed to run load test in isolation and using profiler in parallel to get the real figures.

Note: Not sure why but make sure that the switches come before the phase i.e. "-Dtest=MyFirstTest" before "test" otherwise it is not working (Mac OSX)
