Thank you all for your answers
I tried adding the following to my pom.xml
<properties>
<database.driver>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</database.driver>
<database.url>${database.url}</database.url>
<database.username>${database.username}</database.username>
<database.password>${database.password}</database.password>
</properties>
And tried reading with System.getProperty("database.username"), but it gave me
null.
The reason for the ${database.url} and so on, is that it gets its values from
either a default settings.xml or a user specific settings.xml, and that is how
I need it to be. We are already using the sql-maven-plugin to bootstrap the
database, but it only gets run once before all junit tests are run, and that is
not what I need, I need it to run for every test to ensure a clean database.
I can easily make some code that drops my tables and so on, but I need the
correct database properties from the correct settings.xml.
Bernd you talked about making a plugin that gets called before every test, how
can I do this?

Sounds like this might help you:
- Create a Maven plugin which is executed in any phase >>bevore<< test,
e.g. 'generate-test-resources'. This will make it possible to set up the
database. This plugin might help for starting the database (only if you're
using HSQL):
http://gforge.openehealth.org/gf/project/development/wiki/?pagename=Documentation+HSQLDB+plugin
, but there are others, too.
- Reading of POM-properties inside a Maven plugin is easy and described
here:
http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/writing-plugins-sect-mojo-params.html#writing-plugins-sect-param-values
However, the scenario described by you clearly indicates that this is not
a unit test instead it is an integration test where other rules/plugins
might apply, e.g. maven-invoker-plugin. But this would recommend a
restructuring of your project and might not be what you want.
