You can allow your tests to see whatever properties you want by setting the maven.junit.sysproperties property to the space-delimited list of property names. See http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/test/properties.html for more information.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 3:43 PM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: Question about -D Is the -D option only for sending system properties to Maven itself, or can I set properties that my testcases can see when I run them via "maven test" ? In the Eclipse IDE, I can add "-Dmyproperty=foo" to the "VM Arguments" and my testcase can call System.getProperty() to get the value. I was trying to achieve the same thing with a Maven command line, like this but the System.getProperty() and even System.getProperties().list(System.out); show that it's not set when the testcase runs. maven test:single -Dtestcase=com.yadda.SystemPropertyTest -Dmyproperty=foo Am I using it wrong or was it even meant for this? -Jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
