This can also be fixed using a system property, as shown for skipTests here http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/maven/surefire/trunk/maven-surefire-plugin/src/site/apt/examples/skipping-test.apt.vm?view=markup

> When running tests from the command line (e.g. "mvn test -Dtest=FooTest" actually showing on the console the summary and stack trace of failures is very useful.
> However many projects have surefire configured in a root pom.xml and often has the default of useFile=true.
> It would be nice to be able to do something like...
> mvn test -Dtest=foo -DuseFile=false 
> to be able to get a nice output of what the failed exception is and the stack trace etc.
> It might be nice to enable useFile=false when -Dtest= is specified too.
> How about we add a new field which maps to -DuseFile and if its specified then override the configuration from the pom.xml?
