Proposal to use java Map for surefire's systemProperties
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: SUREFIRE-511
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-511
Project: Maven Surefire
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: plugin
Affects Versions: 2.4.3
Reporter: Dan Tran
There is a known problem documented at
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/system-properties.html
where maven properties other than java String are not able to pass into
surefire
This is mainly because systemProperties is mapped to java Properties class.
However if we map it to java Map
the problem solves.
see
http://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/trunk/mojo/build-helper-maven-plugin/src/it/surefire
for details.
So I would like to propose that we deprecate "systemProperties" and introduce a
new one "systemPropertyVariables" to use java Map ( similar to surefire's
environmentVariables"
Thoughts?
