Answer 1

There are certain times when some tests are causing the build to fail. Excluding them is one of the best workarounds to continue the build. Exclusions can be done by configuring the excludes property of the plugin.

Maven Surefire Plugin / Inclusions and Exclusions of Tests

My solution would be to check in C:\\apache\\sakai-src\\external-calendaring-service\\impl\\target\\surefire-reports for the failed tests and exclude them in your pom.xml.

  <project>
      [...]
      <build>
        <plugins>
          <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.19.1</version>
            <configuration>
              <excludes>
                <exclude>**/TestCircle.java</exclude>
                <exclude>**/TestSquare.java</exclude>
              </excludes>
            </configuration>
          </plugin>
        </plugins>
      </build>
      [...]
    </project>

Another solution might be to run the following Maven command:

mvn clean install -X -e -DskipTests
