Benjamin Bentmann commented on SUREFIRE-511:
--------------------------------------------
We could also have a look at Plexus: {{Properties}} IS_A {{Map}} so why
shouldn't it accept the same kind of POM configuration?
> 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
> Attachments: SUREFIRE-511.patch
>
>
> 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?
