I recently changed a systemProperties configuration variable to be systemPropertyVariables.
The old systemProperties element was able to deal with empty strings. That is, if you had: <property> <name>testDatabasePassword</name> <value></value> </property> ...everything worked fine; the test database got an empty string passed to it. I changed this to <testDatabasePassword></testDatabasePassword> ...and mvn -X reports that the system property is being set to null. Then I don't see it in the list of system properties handed off to the test. What would be the proper way to use an empty string here? Maven 2.2.1, Surefire 2.6 Thanks, Laird
