Maven Plugin

The Paramixel Maven plugin provides the test goal.

Parameters​

skipTests​

  • property: paramixel.skipTests
  • default: false

failIfNoTests​

  • property: paramixel.failIfNoTests
  • default: true

failureOnSkip​

  • property: paramixel.failureOnSkip
  • default: false

When true, skipped tests cause the build to fail (equivalent to exit code 1). When false (default), skipped tests are treated as successful (exit code 0).

properties​

Custom key/value pairs merged into Paramixel runtime configuration.

Example configuration​

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.paramixel</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${paramixel.version}</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>test</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
    <configuration>
        <failIfNoTests>false</failIfNoTests>
        <properties>
            <property>
                <key>paramixel.parallelism</key>
                <value>4</value>
            </property>
        </properties>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

CLI flags​

./mvnw test -Dparamixel.skipTests=true
./mvnw test -Dparamixel.failIfNoTests=false
./mvnw test -Dparamixel.failureOnSkip=true
./mvnw test -Dparamixel.parallelism=8

Discovery behavior​

The plugin builds a test classloader from:

  • target/test-classes when present
  • target/classes when present
  • Maven test classpath dependencies

It then calls:

Resolver.resolveActions(configuration, selector)

The configuration map is passed to the resolver so that paramixel.parallelism controls both thread pool sizing (in Runner) and discovered action parallelism (in Resolver).

Discovered factories are always combined as a Parallel root.

Configuration precedence​

The plugin builds configuration in this order:

  1. Configuration.defaultProperties()
  2. plugin <properties>
  3. system properties whose keys start with paramixel.

Source layout note​

In this repository, Paramixel examples live under examples/src/main/java because the plugin discovers and runs action factories from compiled classes, not from JUnit's src/test/java convention.
