Pierre Le Roux commented on SUREFIRE-867:
-----------------------------------------
Here is an example of one of my pom :
{code}
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<configuration>
<junitArtifactName>junit:junit</junitArtifactName>
<environmentVariables>
<itcb.env>${itcb.env}</itcb.env>
<testDatabaseHost>${testDatabaseHost}</testDatabaseHost>
<testDatabaseUser>${testDatabaseUser}</testDatabaseUser>
<testDatabasePassword>${testDatabasePassword}</testDatabasePassword>
</environmentVariables>
</configuration>
</plugin>
{code}
I put this in a parent pom.
I would like to generalize it as :
* project A will have this in its POM :
{code}
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<configuration>
<junitArtifactName>junit:junit</junitArtifactName>
<allPropertiesAsEnvironmentVariables>true</allPropertiesAsEnvironmentVariables>
</configuration>
</plugin>
{code}
* Project B extend Project A and contains JUNIT test and properties
{code}
<properties>
<projectSpecificProperty>a value</projectSpecificProperty>
</properties>
{code}
In JUNIT test, I would like to use this property value as environment variables
without having to redefine Surefire configuration in my B project.
As i set {code}allPropertiesAsEnvironmentVariables{code} to {code}true{code},
{code}projectSpecificProperty{code} would be automatically added as environment
variables, then i could use it in my tests.

> It could be great to have a new option such as
> *allPropertiesAsEnvironmentVariables* (by default : false) that would
> retrieve all context properties (project, parent project and activated
> profile properties) and add it as environment variables.
