--------------------------------------
Summary: Propagate a set of properties to the junit tasks in
build.xml
Key: DERBY-6078
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6078
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Test
Affects Versions: 10.10.0.0
Reporter: Kristian Waagan
At times it would be very helpful to be able to specify a set of properties to
pass on to the JUnit tests when invoking the JUnit tasks in build.xml. Examples
are specifying a non-default port to use, to shorten down the run-time of the
stress-test,or to specify the location of old release jars (this is already
handled explicitly).
There are several alternatives on how to do this - see
http://ant.apache.org/manual/Types/propertyset.html for details.
I suggest we try out the simplest approach first: pass on any system properties
set on the command line. It should be very simple to implement. The downside is
that a property you specify for the higher-level build script may interfer or
be in conflict with the running of the tests.
