[jira] Created: (SUREFIRE-764) java.io.tmpdir from MAVEN_OPTS should be inherited when forking

java.io.tmpdir from MAVEN_OPTS should be inherited when forking
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SUREFIRE-764
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-764
             Project: Maven Surefire
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Maven Failsafe Plugin, Maven Surefire Plugin, process forking
    Affects Versions: 2.9
         Environment: n/a
            Reporter: Anders Hammar


For Maven 3 freestyle jobs in Hudson you can select "Private temporary directory". This will set "MAVEN_OPTS=-Djava.io.tmpdir=..." for the Maven execution.
However, surefire/failsafe plugin forks by default and the forked process will then not be using this temp directory as the new JVM settings are not inherited from MAVEN_OPTS.

I'm suggesting that java.io.tmpdir should be inherited from MAVEN_OPTS, if specified.
