--------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried using $ instead of `@`
but the thing is : if my jacoco profile is not active, I don't have {{jvm.agent}} property defined and Maven won't replace it trying to execute :  java $\{jvm.agent\} -XX...

If I define an empty {{jvm.agent}} property at project level (outside profile), then it's always empty even though Jacoco is activated.

> I need to specify argLine for my tests. I also need it to work with Java agent Jacoco when a certain Maven profile is activated.
> So I added `@{argLine}` to my argLine property and it works fine when running with Jacoco agent activated.
> When running the tests without profile that activates Jacoco agent, the surefire plugin fails with following line (relevant maven logs attached) :
> {color:red}Error: Could not find or load main class @\{argLine} {color}
> I guess @{argLine} is only replaced if an argLine has been defined before by another plugin but if not it is not replaced at all.
> Should'nt it be replaced in any case and if none defined, just replace with empty value?
