3 questions:

a) why is the variable skipTestOrITest, and not skipTestsOrITests ?

b) why isn't it defined in your root pom such that it can be reused in other itests/ folders? I see skipITests being used in as/itests/ and wtp/itests/ but only as/itests is resolving the skipTestOrITest flag.

c) was there a JIRA to push this into the parent pom, too?
