> Allow to configure JVM for tests by referencing a toolchain entry
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SUREFIRE-1234
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1234
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Gunnar Morling
> Assignee: Tibor Digana
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.0.0-M5
>
>
> There is the property "jvm" which allows to specify a specific JVM to run on
> the tests through Surefire. This puts in an absolute path into my POM,
> though, which makes the build less portable.
> Therefore I propose to allow an alternative option which allows to refer to
> specific JDKs configured through toolchains.xml:
> {code}
> <plugin>
> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
> <configuration>
> <toolchain>
> <jdk>
> <version>1.7</version>
> <vendor>sun</vendor>
> </jdk>
> </toolchains>
> </configuration>
> </plugin>
> {code}
> Note that this allows to use a specific toolchain just for tests,
> independently what's configured as toolchain for the overall build through
> the maven-toolchain-plugin. This e.g. allows to run the build on JDK 8 but
> run tests on JDK/JRE 7 (which is a frequent requirement for our projects). Or
> one could have several Surefire executions, running tests on different Java
> versions.
> The toolchain to use should be injectable through a property, so one can
> easily configure it, e.g. for specific Jenkins runs: "...
> -Dsurefire.toolchain=jdk:1.7" or "... -Dsurefire.toolchain=jdk:1.7:sun".
