I think that is because Maven runs the tests in a separate (forked) process by default, so the properties are lost. See: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/debugging.html Try adding -DforkMode=none and see it that helps. Otherwise see: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/system-properties.html which describes how to define system properties in the POM. > Regards, > Jon B > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
