Hi all, After trying different external libraries [1 <https://github.com/stefanbirkner/system-rules#:~:text=System%20Rules%20is%20a%20collection,the%20possibilities%20of%20Java%208.> ][2 <https://github.com/stefanbirkner/system-lambda>] and Junit extensions [ 3 <https://junit-pioneer.org/>] to varying degrees of success, I eventually settled on using the <environmentVariables> configuration in the pom.xml as suggested in Nadeeshan's response. The environment variable I'm passing is* $SYSTEM:SOAP_SERVICE_TEST*, and as you might notice, includes special characters, specifically the *$* and *:*.
My issue is that I could not find a way to include the special characters into the XML element name as follows; <$SYSTEM:SOAP_SERVICE_TEST>value</$SYSTEM:SOAP_SERVICE_TEST> Would appreciate some thoughts on how to resolve this.
