Empty system property value from POM pluginManagement defaulting to the value 
of another property.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MSUREFIRE-111
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSUREFIRE-111
     Project: Maven 2.x Surefire Plugin
        Type: Bug

    Versions: 2.1.3    
 Environment: Maven 2.0.4/Linux
    Reporter: Randy Watler
    Priority: Minor


The "test.empty" system property ends up with the value "defined.value".

                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>2.1.3</version>
                    <configuration>
                             <property>
                                <name>test.defined</name>
                                <value>defined.value</value>
                            </property>
                            <property>
                                <name>test.empty</name>
                                <value></value>
                            </property>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>

[DEBUG]   (f) systemProperties = {test.defined=defined.value, 
test.empty=defined.value}

Here is the workaround, (test.empty ends up with value ""):

                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>2.1.3</version>
                    <configuration>
                            <property>
                                <name>test.empty</name>
                                <value></value>
                            </property>
                             <property>
                                <name>test.defined</name>
                                <value>defined.value</value>
                            </property>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>

[DEBUG]   (f) systemProperties = {test.defined=defined.value, test.empty=}
