This makes sense.  Some questions:
1. Is the "argLine" property a Surefire-specific property or a Maven-global
property?

2. Where is the "argLine" property documented (and all other properties for
that matter)?  

3. Where do I set the surefire "forkMode" property?

I think I prefer not to change the testing process too much and stick with
setting argLine so the tests are still run in a separate JVM.  It depends on
whether or not I want each test of possibly many to block until I attach the
debugger to it...we'll see how that goes.  I'll probably just run the single
test using "-Dtest=BlahBlahBlah".

Thanks,
Matthew

http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html

The properties can be set with -D on the command line or inside
<plugin><configuration> in the pom.
