turn on useFile=false from the command line?
--------------------------------------------

                 Key: SUREFIRE-631
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-631
             Project: Maven Surefire
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Maven Surefire Plugin
    Affects Versions: 2.5
            Reporter: james strachan


When running tests from the command line (e.g. "mvn test -Dtest=FooTest" 
actually showing on the console the summary and stack trace of failures is very 
useful.

However many projects have surefire configured in a root pom.xml and often has 
the default of useFile=true.

It would be nice to be able to do something like...

mvn test -Dtest=foo -DuseFile=false 

to be able to get a nice output of what the failed exception is and the stack 
trace etc.

It might be nice to enable useFile=false when -Dtest= is specified too.

How about we add a new field which maps to -DuseFile and if its specified then 
override the configuration from the pom.xml?
