Description

See the attachements for a sample project of the surefire integration tests.

Its pom sets the skipTests option of the surefire-plugin to false.
<plugin>
...
<configuration>
<skipTests>false</skipTests>
</configuration>
</plugin>

This configuration is not overriden by the appropriate command line parameter:
mvn -DskipTests=true test
Executing this line will set the skipTests parameter of the Surefire plugin to false and the tests will not be skipped.

I looked at the code of org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultPluginManager.getConfiguredMojo(...) and discovered the reason for this bug. The line

PlexusConfiguration mergedConfiguration = mergeMojoConfiguration( pomConfiguration, mojoDescriptor );

sets the skipTests parameter to the value of the pom. Afterwards this value is not be overriden, because it is already set.
