Better support for running unit tests on DB2
--------------------------------------------

                 Key: OPENJPA-454
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-454
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: build / infrastructure
    Affects Versions: 1.0.1, 1.0.0
            Reporter: Michael Dick
            Assignee: Michael Dick
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: OPENJPA-454.patch.txt

The JDBC driver for DB2 requires two jars on the classpath, the driver and a 
license jar. Currently if you want to run OpenJPA unit tests against DB2 (or 
any JDBC driver that uses multiple jars) you have to manually modify pom.xml 
and explicitly add in the new dependencies. 

To resolve the problem I created a new profile which allows two jars to be 
provided as system jars (similar to test-custom). 

While I was working on this I noticed that each database profile has it's own 
set of configuration properties for the Surefire jUnit test environment and 
that they weren't always the same. To try and fix that I took the surefire 
configuration out of the individual profiles and put it in a common place. 

I've run the complete unit test suite against Derby, and done some sniff 
testing with DB2, MySQL, and HSQLDB all of which looks good. I'm posting the 
patch in case anyone else has issues with the approach, or wants to verify that 
it works with other databases (which I might not have access to).
