Thanks! Ok I'm getting further. If I use <reporting> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <systemProperties> <property> <name>foo</name> <value>bar</value> </property> </systemProperties> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </reporting>
Its picked up. What I need though is to pass the value on the command line as originally mentioned. I noticed that you can activate a profile based on the presence of a system property - can I use this to activate the profile and still get its value as above?
