maven surefire plugin not picking up test

I have a simple Maven project, and have a test class called IntegrationTest.

When I execute: mvn surefire:test, the test gets executed. However, the same test is completely ignored when I execute a standard Maven build: mvn package

Am I missing anything?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (May 24th):

I tried to follow advice by @dragan-bozanovic, but inexplicably, without any changes, my tests are not called under any condition anymore. I'm stumped. I committed a project here: https://github.com/javalite/activeweb The tests are not invoked in this module: https://github.com/javalite/activeweb/tree/master/activeweb-lessc-integration-test

I tried JUnit 3 style, JUnit4 style, changed names of classes, moved to different package - no avail. When I execute mvn install, I do not see that surefire plugin is called. When I call it explicitly: mvn surefire:test, it puts out a message: No tests to run

Any help is much appreciated!

The real reason for surefire plugin not be able to find tests, is because my pom.xml file had <packaging>pom</packaging>. As soon as I switched it to <packaging>jar</packaging>, surefire plugin picked up the tests. In any case, Dragan - thank you for pushing me in the right direction!

According to Maven default build lifecycle, integration tests come after the package phase. It may be that a naming convention is used here, because your test class name ends with IntegrationTest.

If this is really not an integration test, then rename the class accordingly. If it is, then it seems that Maven behaves as described.

EDIT

It may also be that a wrong combination of versions of surefire, JUnit and JUnit-style of tests is used. More info about this can be found here.
