Probably what's happening is Maven is launching a second JVM to run your tests.
If so, you can use -DargLine="=-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=4657" to pass those arguments to the launched JVM. Alternately, you can set surefire to forkMode=never and then your MAVEN_OPTS trick will work just fine. -Dan > -----Original Message----- > From: matthewadams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 3:46 PM > To: users@maven.apache.org > Subject: [M2] FAQ?
