Jose Negreira commented on SUREFIRE-121: ---------------------------------------- Hi all, I've tried a cleaner workaround: This was the *not working* property: mvn test -Dtest=myTest -DserverUrl=foobar serverUrl comes null. And this is the working property using -DargLine: mvn test -Dtest=myTest -DargLine=-DsomeUrl=foobar serverUrl has 'foobar' value :) for more than 1 parameter: mvn test -Dtest=myTest -DargLine="-DsomeUrl=foobar -DotherParam=otherValue" Credits for this go to Maximiliano Vazquez. (Thanks!)
