configuration of Junit tests

[de...@canoo.com]

Hello,
Im pretty new to M2 I must say. Nevertheless I would like to understand how I can do things such as calling a test class with VM arguments.
In our project we have got something similar to M2. The module has got a descriptor in which a user can configure a unit test suite including
arguments for this unit test.
such as:
<component id="foo">
...
<unittest id="bar" classname="com.x.y.z.AllTests" args="-DaKey=aValue -DanotherKey=anotherValue">
</unittest>
</component>

I've seen that the surefire plugin executes all classes with a specific pattern. So I could define the class to be executed easily. But how would I deal with VM arguments. 

Does anyone has got a nice way of defining those ?

thanks,
detlef

i think you need systemProperties tag; sample bellow:

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
        <skip>false</skip>
        <systemProperties>
            <property>
                <name>HOST</name>
                <value>${host}</value>
                <name>CONTEXT</name>
                <value>${project.build.finalName}</value>
                <name>PORT</name>
                <value>${tomcat.port}</value>
            </property>
        </systemProperties>
</configuration>
