Well it seems that I use 2.4.3, so I have changed it to the now deprecated way also. It still gives me null values... :(
I think my problem is elsewhere now, I do not think maven gets activated when I run my junit tests. I will look into this issue now.

The differences are: - I'm still using surefire 2.4.2 - Due to the older version I use the (now) deprecated method of defining system properties in surefire (<systemProperties> instead of <systemPropertyVariables>) How and where are you trying to access the properties? In some JUnit test which is executed by the maven surefire plugin via System.getProperty("db.url")? That definitely works for me. However, Stephen's comments about locking you to maven this way sounds reasonable. His approach is probably the better one. But I don't know yet how these properties could be used in pom.xml for plugin configuration. Do they get imported by maven somehow? hth, - martin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
