Force run of @Ignore'd JUnit test using Maven command line

Question

I have a JUnit test with an @Ignore attribute, for example -

public class HealthCareGov
{
    @Test
    @Ignore
    public void performancetest()
    {
        // stuff
    }
}

In most IDEs (IntelliJ for example) I can forcefully run this test by selecting the method name even though there is an @Ignore attribute. I'm guessing Eclipse also allows this?

However, when I try to do the same behavior in Maven by executing the following -

mvn -Dtest=HealthCareGov#performancetest test

It appears that Maven skips the test. This is the output -

-------------------------------------------------------
 T E S T S
-------------------------------------------------------
Running HealthCareGov
Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 1, Time elapsed: 0.032 sec

Results :

Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 1

What Maven command line can I use to force the execution of this test to reproduce the behavior that my IDE produces? Modifying the Java source code is not an option.
