I would do this via a profile, default value and surefire config, so
something like;
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>withJavaAgent</id>
<properties>
<myJavaAgent>-javaagent:C:\JARS\agent.jar</myJavaAgent>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
<properties>
<myJavaAgent></myJavaAgent>
</properties>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<argLine>${myJavaAgent}
-DtheGroup=${project.groupId} -DtheArtifact=${project.artifactId}</argLine>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Then if you want to override on the command line it's; mvn test
-DmyJavaAgent="-javaagent:C:\JARS\agent.jar"
Or; mvn test -PwithJavaAgent
