[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSUREFIRE-153?page=comments#action_77459 ] John T. Kwon commented on MSUREFIRE-153: ----------------------------------------
I put the patch in on my machine because I work with Documentum Foundation Classses. These need to have several properties files (dfc.properties) on the classpath in order for the classes to function. Since my unit tests actually run against Documentum, the surefire plugin needs to have this feature in order to specify the classpath during testing. > Ability to add additions to classpath > ------------------------------------- > > Key: MSUREFIRE-153 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSUREFIRE-153 > Project: Maven 2.x Surefire Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Environment: N/A > Reporter: David J.
