Description

The 2.4.x versions of maven-surefire-plugin do not propagate the bootclasspath to the forked JVM that executes the tests.

I have attached a sample project that demonstrates this problem. The sample application has a test case that verifies that the -Xbootclasspath parameter given in the <argLine> of the POM is properly passed to the JVM running the tests, but the test fails when using 2.4.x versions.

If you modify the POM to use 2.3 version instead of 2.4.2, the tests pass.
