Dan Tran commented on SUREFIRE-511:
-----------------------------------
Dont think it is wise to fix Properties to accept the current Map XML
presentation, since it will break lots of existing configuration, unless we
make it smart enough to understand both which also mean introduceing other
regression in the core IMHO
> Proposal to use java Map for surefire's systemProperties
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SUREFIRE-511
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-511
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: plugin
> Affects Versions: 2.4.3
> Reporter: Dan Tran
> Attachments: SUREFIRE-511.patch
>
>
> There is a known problem documented at
> http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/system-properties.html
> where maven properties other than java String are not able to pass into
> surefire
> This is mainly because systemProperties is mapped to java Properties class.
> However if we map it to java Map
> the problem solves.
> see
> http://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/trunk/mojo/build-helper-maven-plugin/src/it/surefire
> for details.
> So I would like to propose that we deprecate "systemProperties" and introduce
> a new one "systemPropertyVariables" to use java Map ( similar to surefire's
> environmentVariables"
> Thoughts?
