How to properly set up multi profile maven project?

Hey, I'm talking about profiles within pom.xml of a project. Could please anybody explain to me, why if I have 2 profiles in pom definition and I run test phase from one of the profiles, both the Main method is executed and all the tests are run by surefire plugin ? I mean, even the surefire plugin runs all the tests, even though it is within a different profile ?

mvn test -Pcode-generator

the first one,code-generator, is just for Main methods execution and the second one for the rest of the project.

The surefire plugin is one that runs by default for a java project. You have a number of options:

• Add the surefire plugin to your code-generator profile and override it not to run.
• Run with -DskipTests.
• Specify only the goal you want to run, instead of running a full maven build.
