Thanks Stephen - that solved it.
I had not researched the surefire/failsafe configurations enough. I've used
option 2 and passed the port to the failsafe plugin as it is an integration
test. Also, the phase I have used is pre-integration-test. There is a
default port already setup in a properties file and now the randomly chosen
port overrides it as a system property.
Overall, problem solved. Thanks to all for the very prompt replies.
