[jira] Commented: (SUREFIRE-649) Might be impossible to have empty strings in systemPropertyVariables element

["Laird Nelson (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-649?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=237572#action_237572 ] 

Laird Nelson commented on SUREFIRE-649:
---------------------------------------

I neglected to set the priority down from major, as the workaround is simply to continue to use the deprecated systemProperties stanza.  My apologies.

> This stanza:
> <systemProperties>
>   <property>
>     <name>emptyProperty</name>
>     <value></value>
>   </property>
> </systemProperties>
> ...yields "" from System.getProperty("emptyProperty").
> This (supposedly better) stanza:
> <systemPropertyVariables>
>   <emptyProperty></emptyProperty>
> </systemPropertyVariables>
> ...yields null from System.getProperty("emptyProperty").
> A test case is attached that demonstrates the issue.
