modify surefire in place via a plugin

[Ben Tatham <ta...@ieee.org>]

Is it possible to modify the run of the surefire plugin from another
plugin?  I would like to be able to set some systemProperties and
argLine from another plugin, but I don't want to have to run the tests
a second time.  (I want to set the -javaagent, etc).  Ideally, I would
like to be able to do this from a plugin so the dependcies (the
javaagent jar) can be available, and my plugin takes care of all the
setup, and post-processing for a report.

PS In case you are interested, it is to wrap JCarder
(http://jcarder.org) into a maven plugin, and eventually into Hudson
and Sonar plugins.

Yes the latest surefire snapshot support that.

Basically, your plugin can be used to setup a bunch of properties,
which are then passed back to surefire in another phase.

See build-helper-maven-plugin to see some of this work.
