Summary

We no longer execute unit tests during Maven analysis in Java Ecosystem version 2.2, dropping this feature after previously removing it for PHP and .NET analyses. This change was made to correct a misguided effort to add unnecessary functionality, as test execution truly belongs to the development team. The previous automated test execution had technical issues and hindered the removal of old code, so we've switched to executing tests before analysis instead. This change should be straightforward, requiring only minor adjustments in build commands, and will result in a cleaner code base with better maintainability.
