How do I set in the pom to not compile tests?

How do I set in the pom to not compile tests in Maven? I've tried:

<properties>
  <skipTests>true</skipTests>
</properties>

but in that case, Maven compile the tests but don't run them. I need Maven don't compile my tests.

If you are using the surefire-plugin for executing tests, you can configure it to skip them based on a naming pattern:

<project>
  [...]
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.14</version>
        <configuration>
          <includes>
            <include>%regex[.*[Cat|Dog].*Test.*]</include>
          </includes>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
  [...]
</project>

This, however, requires the tests file names to conform to the desired pattern(s). At work we are using this approach, and have our tests end with ..UnitTest or ..IntegrationTest, so that we can easily turn each of them off by modifying the regex in the corresponding build profile.

Take a look at Apache's documentation on the surefire plugin. You may find something more useful or better suited for your case.

In my case a solution was to put tests in a profile (e.g. runTests), so when I want to run these tests, I add the parameter -PrunTests. Thanks for the replies.

Configure maven-compiler-plugin to skip the compilation. Once again, I do not recommend it.

<project>
  <properties>
    <maven.test.skip>true</maven.test.skip>
  </properties>
  [...]
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.0</version>
        <configuration>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>default-testCompile</id>
            <phase>test-compile</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>testCompile</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <skip>${maven.test.skip}</skip>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
  [...]
</project>

You have to define maven.test.skip to true.

<properties>
    <maven.test.skip>true</maven.test.skip>
</properties>
