I'm using Maven 3.0.3 with JUnit 4.8.1. In my JUnit test, how do I read the project.artifactId defined in my Maven pom.xml file? In my pom, I have
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.myco.pplus2</groupId>
<artifactId>pplus2</artifactId>
But this isn't working within my JUnit test to gete the artifact id ...
@Before
public void setUp() {
...
System.out.println( "artifactId:" + System.getProperty("project.build.sourceEncoding") );
} // setUp
The above outputs "artifactId:null". Anyway, appreciate any help, - Dave

Sometimes, Eclipse is configured to use the Java Builder for Project->Automatically Build (Right Click->Project->Properties->Builders)
If such is the case, sometimes the resource filtering doesn't work. You have several options:
2 and 3 are described in http://scottizu.wordpress.com/2013/10/16/reading-the-project-version-from-the-maven-pom-file/

Maven project properties aren't automatically added to Java System properties. To achieve that there are quite a few options. For this specific need you could define a System property for maven-surefire-plugin (the one running tests) and then use the System.getProperty method.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.10</version>
<configuration>
<systemProperties>
<property>
<name>projectArtifactId</name>
<value>${project.artifactId}</value>
</property>
</systemProperties>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Other way to achieve getting Maven properties to JUnit tests would probably be resources filtering for test source files.
PS. Reading Maven configurations at runtime, even in tests is pretty dirty IMHO. :)

Look at the systemPropertyVariables (and friends) for surefire. It does what you want. AFAIK there is no way to just pass all the maven properties without listing them.
