One other little nugget here: this seems to work by default, but what does
not work is simply defining a property in my pom.xml:
<properties>
<x>y</x>
</properties>
In this case, without using <systemPropertyVariables> in my Surefire
configuration, x is not propagated as a System property through to my unit
tests. If I specify it as -Dx=y on the command line, it is.
Maybe this is old pre-existing behavior? Maybe something changed? I would
love to know what the supported behavior is or should be.
Best,
