Description

I upgraded from Maven 2.2.1 to 3.0.2.
I found an issue that I haven't occurred when I was using Maven 2.2.1.

I'd like to overwrite the system property "file.encoding".
So I set an value at pom.xml like below.

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.7.2</version>
<configuration>
<systemPropertyVariables>
<file.encoding>utf-8</file.encoding>
</systemPropertyVariables>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/TestUtils.java</exclude>
<exclude>learning/*/.java</exclude>
</excludes>
<forkMode>always</forkMode>
<argLine>-Dfile.encoding=utf-8</argLine>
</configuration>
</plugin>

But "file.encoding" value wasn't loaded when testing.
I attach an file when I ran the command below.
mvn -DskipTests=false -Dtest=*LabelNodeTest -X surefire:test > build.log
