--------------------------------------
Assignee: Tibor Digana
> Use the same settings as the maven JVM when forking a JVM
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SUREFIRE-1035
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1035
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Maven Surefire Plugin, process forking
> Affects Versions: 2.16
> Reporter: Jifeng Zhang
> Assignee: Tibor Digana
>
> When forking a JVM, JVM settings are not inherited from MAVEN_OPTS. And by
> default, the forked JVM is a new instance of the same JVM used to start Maven.
> Were there strong reasons for not using the same JVM settings as the
> "parental" JVM, but using argLine explicitly?
> I think for the users that are not aware of JVM forking, they would expect
> the same JVM settings are used when running surefire plugin. Just like we
> assumed it is the same JVM (new instance) forked as the one Maven runs on,
> which was not true until version 2.3, and was fixed in
> [SUREFIRE-135|https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-135]
> So I propose when forking a JVM, the same settings from JVM that maven runs
> on, is used; unless there is an argLine explicitly overwrites the settings.
