Maven surfire plugin ignores the POM cofiguration

[Jonny Andersson]

When Maven execute my test cases that use OpenJPA do I get an exception

Exception in thread "Attachment 3342" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException:
cannot get the capability, performing dispose of the retransforming environment

That exception is solved if I add this JVM-option

-javaagent:C:\.m2\org\apache\openjpa\openjpa-all\2.1.0-SNAPSHOT\openjpa-all-2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

which I have added to the run configuration in eclipse which then executes all my test cases sucessfully. To have them executed successfully of Maven also have I tried to add that JVM-option to the surfire plugin that executes the test cases with this configuration in the POM:
<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.6</version> <configuration> <argLine>-javaagent:C:/.m2/org/apache/openjpa/openjpa-all/2.1.0-SNAPSHOT/openjpa-all-2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar</argLine> </configuration> </plugin>
But it seems that the surfire plugin just ignores the configuration. I can't find any reason to why this should not work. Have I made anything wrong och could I configure this in another way?

I just found that the command

mvn test -DargLine=-javaagent:C:/.m2/org/apache/openjpa/openjpa-all/2.1.0-SNAPSHOT/openjpa-all-2.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

is a workaround to this problem but it would be a lot better if this JVM option could be configured in the POM instead

Run maven with debug logging on and see what that line gets translated to, you might need to escape the backslashes for example
