Pass Command-Line Param to Surefire Plugin

[leojhartiv]

Hello,

I searched the archive, but was not able to find an answer to my question.

I am running maven as follows:

mvn clean test -Dsomeparameter=somevalue

someparameter will vary per mvn call.

It does not appear that my surefire tests are able to find this variable
when they execute, so I'm assuming Maven does not pass all command-line
variables to plugins by default.

My question is, how do I pass surefire a command-line argument?  My first
thought was to do so in the configuration:

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.4.3</version>
        <configuration>
                <systemProperties>
                        <property>
                                <name>someparameter</name>
                                <value>${someparameter}</value>
                        </property>
                </systemProperties>
        </configuration>
</plugin>

However, looking at this page, it seems that this will not work:

Any solution you have is appreciated.

Thanks,
Leo
