Thanks Brett, Actually the workaround I've found is to follow John's suggestion of retrieving the test resources from the classpath instead of from the filesystem.
Thus I have no longer a need to pass a path as system property. However MNG-272 is still valid as this is required by other tests I have in cargo to pass the container port to tests.
