How to run JUnit from command line with vm arguments?

Is there any way to run JUnit test cases with program arguments, VM arguments and working directory?

I've tried with org.junit.runner.JUnitCore, but I can't find the way to pass these parameters.

You can pass system parameters with the -Dproperty=value

Program arguments are just passed at the end of the java command line. However, they will be passed to Junit's main method. so you cannot use them in your test class. If you want to use some parameter in your test class, set a system parameter and retrieve it with System.getProperty(String) in your code.

So the command line would look like this (you probably need to set other options like classpath):

java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dmy.param=foo org.junit.runner.JUnitCore org.package.MyTest

For the working directory I would change to the desired directory with cd before invoking JUnit.
