mvn: Compile and package, skipping unit tests.

$ mvn package -DskipTests

try on your machine

This command is used in Maven (a build automation tool for Java projects) to build the project into a distributable format (JAR, WAR, etc.) skipping the execution of any tests.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

mvn is the command to run Maven.
package is a Maven build lifecycle phase that packages the project into a distributable format. It compiles the source code, runs the tests, and creates the artifact (e.g., JAR or WAR).
-DskipTests is a Maven system property that skips the execution of tests during the build process. By specifying this property, Maven will not run any unit tests or integration tests during the packaging phase.

In summary, the command mvn package -DskipTests is used to build the project without running tests, resulting in a distributable package.
