When i'm running through testng.xml (right click on testng.xml, then run as TestNG) it works fine - 2 of the tests i have there are running, but when i'm running it from Maven (mvn test) it just perform build and doesn't run the tests. BTW - i noticed that if i have classes with the word Test in them they are running by default on Maven, but this is not good for me since i need the ability to control the tests through the testng.xml file.
this is my pom.xml:
