maven-2 - Maven Deployment on Multiple Containers

Question

I would like to know how I define multiple containers in Maven, one for development and debugging and one for production. For instance:

1. Embedded Glassfish with JUnit dependencies
2. Deploying on Glassfish Server with no tests (no auto deploy is required, I just make a manual copy to the domain).

So when I shall run the JUnit tests, I would do something like:

mvn test -P junit

And for build a package to deploy

mvn package -P webapp

I am writing example with the -P switch, since I have come up with this pom.xml so far:

I have now 2 problems (at least):

1. The tests seems to working with the "mvn test -P junit" but when I do "mvn package -P webapp" Maven seems to run the tests again (with no container I assume nor the junit dependency).
2. The Eclipse IDE lint checker does indicate errors in source code depending on activated profile. For instance, if I active the webapp profile, all the test classes will be error marked.

Can you please guide me?

Best regards

add to this

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.12</version>
        <configuration>
          <skipTests>${skip.junit.tests}</skipTests>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>  

to webapp profile add

<properties>
   <skip.junit.tests>true</skip.junit.tests>
</properties> 

to junit profile add

<properties>
   <skip.junit.tests>false</skip.junit.tests>
</properties>
