             Summary: Issue a warning in case argLine is set in conjunction with forkCount=0
                 Key: SUREFIRE-1334
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1334
             Project: Maven Surefire
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Maven Surefire Plugin
    Affects Versions: 2.18.1
            Reporter: Sebastian Kirsch


I just spend some considerable amount of time figuring out why JaCoCo wouldn't work for a Maven project. The reason is that the JaCoCo Maven plugin sets the {{argLine}} property with a {{javaagent}} which causes the coverage to be generated and reported - but with {{forkCount}} being set to {{0}}, the {{argLine}} parameter has no effect.

Now hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would be helpful if surefire would simply report a warning in case the {{argLine}} property is set, but will not have an effect.
I assume the same is true for the {{systemProperties}}, {{systemPropertiesFile}}, {{systemPropertyVariables}}, and maybe others.
