Hi Matthew,
For my unittest I included the following to set system properties: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <forkMode>once</forkMode> <systemProperties> <property> <name> java.util.prefs.PreferencesFactory </name> <value> nl.xup.prefs.memoryprefs.MemoryPreferencesFactory </value> </property> </systemProperties> </configuration> </plugin> I hope this helps.

Does any one have any ideas? -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Tordoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 January 2008 17:56 To: Maven Users List Subject: Setting Java System property Hi all, I am having problems setting a Java System Property as part of my build. I have tried setting it in all kinds of places and the only one that I have found to work is setting it as part of the maven command line as follows: mvn compile -Dsystemprop=blah Setting in the above way is the only way in which I appear to be able to access the file at a later stage from one of my MOJOs via System.getProperty("systemprop") . I don't want to have to set this at the command line because I want to minimise what is typed each time mvn is run. The other approaches I have tried are... Within pom.xml - <configuration> <systemprop>blah</systemprop> </configuration> also... <configuration> <properties> <systemprop>blah</systemprop> <properties> </configuration> within settings.xml... <properties> <systemprop>blah</systemprop> <properties> Any help would be greatly appreciated.
