Hi all,

After encountering the dreaded "eclipse does not propagate systemPropertyVariables settings from surefire in JUnit tests by default" behaviour once more today (no, my quarkus test profile tests were just fine), I wanted to know what the status was (using latest version release of Eclipse, currently 2025-12) on this.

I checked a few SO posts and issues here and there, and was delighted to see that @treilhes (thanks a lot! <3) did an amazing job (that I completely missed) to tackle this, last year.

But it took me a while to realise that it was working fine, though only on single test classes, and this puzzles me.
I usually run the JUnit classes by package, or for a whole app.
And it seems that, in these cases, the feature does not work - even after deleting and recreating a new "run configuration".

Am I doing something wrong here?
Or is it really the case, and if so: is there a good reason for this limitation?
