Is there a way to separate long running (e.g. stress tests) out so they're not run by default in Maven 2?

Question

We\'ve had an ongoing need here that I can\'t figure out how to address using the stock Maven 2 tools and documentation.

Some of our developers have some very long runni

Adding to krosenvold's answer, to ensure no unexpected behavior, make sure you also have a default profile that is active by default that excludes the integration or stresstests you want to run in your special profile.

    normal
    
        
            
                org.apache.maven.plugins
                maven-surefire-plugin
                
                    
                        **/**/*IntTest.java
                    
                
            
        
    
    
        true
    

You will need to create a profile like this, simply listing the surefire-plugin outside of a profile will override the profile should it be selected with:

mvn -P integrationtest clean install
