Hi all, The Surefire plugin documentation (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/system-properties.html) mentions:
[snip] Take note that String valued properties can only be passed as system properties. Any attempt to pass any other maven variable type (i.e. List or a URL variable) will cause the variable expression to be passed literally (unevaluated). [/snip] In my test, I need to get the value of the maven variable ${project.build.outputDirectory} as a String (I need to generate some file at the end of the test, and I need to create this file in ${project.build.outputDirectory). How do I force the evaluation of the variable first, and then pass it to the test a system property? This was discussed in the thread http://www.nabble.com/Passing-maven-variables-as-system-properties-tf1256766s177.html#a3332659, but not properly answered.
