Description

I would like to have option to configure my tests with property files. But property file is not required, because in 95% my tests work fine with default configuration.

I used the following workaround: I configured failsafe plugin in the following way

<properties>
  <my.test.props.file></my.test.props.file>
</properties>
(...)
<artifact>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifact>
(...)
<systemPropertiesFile>${my.test.props.file}</systemPropertiesFile>

In 95% I call mvn verify, systemPropertiesFile is not found and ignored -all pass
In 5% I call mvn verify -Dmy.test.props.file=x.props

The problem is in 95% I get warning about missing files. Also configuration is unnecessary complicated

I would like drop whole connfiguration from pom.xml and use:
In 95% mvn verify
In 5% mvn verify -Dfailsafe.systemPropertiesFile=x.props
