Description

Run a Surefire test with a different JVM using the -Djvm argument. For example, run the test with JDK 1.4 while running Maven with a 1.5 or 1.6 JVM.

Examine the XML file in target/surefire-reports corresponding to your test. The java.* properties will match the parent process, not the forked process. For example, <property name="java.version" value="1.6.0_02"/>.

This is happening due to the fix for SUREFIRE-121. I was afraid when I did this that it was risky:

I even included a comment in the code: Is this wise?

In hindsight, it was not wise; the initial implementation broke the embedder. Milos fixed that later, but it's still doing the wrong thing from the command line.

I'm not exactly sure how to fix this without breaking the fix available in SUREFIRE-121...?
