> I have a couple of test which need to be run under specific locale.
> It is achieved by this surefire plugin configuration:
> Under Java 7 this plugin configuration works:
> {code}
> <plugin>
> 	<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
> 	<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
> 	<version>2.18.1</version>
> 	<configuration>
> 	 <systemPropertyVariables>
> 		<user.timezone>America/Chicago</user.timezone>
> 	 </systemPropertyVariables>
> 	</configuration>
> </plugin>
> {code}
> but under Java 8 the test sensitive test still uses default system locale and they fail.
> Surefire plugin sets system properties too late, because in Java 8, several locale-dependent variables are set much earlier than in Java 7, e.g. TimeZone.getDefault() and 
> properties specified in systemPropertyVariables section don't have influence on tests. 
> Workaround for it is setting system properties in argLine section, e.g. <argLine>-Duser.timezone=America/Chicago</argLine>.
> Workaround:
> {code}
> <plugin>
> 	<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
> 	<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
> 	<version>2.18.1</version>
> 	<configuration>
> 		<argLine>-Duser.timezone=America/Chicago</argLine>
> 	</configuration>
> </plugin>
> {code}
