Description

Hi. Im trying to use the opentelemetry java agent, but either surefire is not passing through the parameters, or the agent is not picking them up.

It works if I pass via the argLine, but not via systemPropertyVariables or systemProperties.

Here is my up-to-date reproducer

https://github.com/delanym/java-maven-junit-helloworld/tree/opentelemetry

Run `mvn test` and you should get a line on the console like

[otel.javaagent 2022-04-26 10:33:44:015 +0200] [main] INFO io.opentelemetry.exporter.logging.LoggingSpanExporter - 'HelloTest.testSayHelloAFewTimes' : be46c05e6d80182590d5289426358fb7 e4c666619bfc7c2d INTERNAL [tracer: io.opentelemetry.opentelemetry-anno
tations-1.0:1.13.0-alpha] AttributesMap{data={thread.id=1, thread.name=main}, capacity=128, totalAddedValues=2}

Try to use the systemPropertyVariables instead and it will not show.
