[tycho-user] config.ini parameters for tycho surefire test

[Steffen Grunwald <steffen.grunwald@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I would like to run UI tests for an application that starts with
non-default startLevels.
My product's config.ini provides these lines as described in the
"system properties" section in [1]
osgi.startLevel=20
osgi.bundles.defaultStartLevel=20

During the surefire test, the config.ini is created with
defaultStartLevel 4, although I configured the system properties with:

<systemProperties>
        <osgi.startLevel>20</osgi.startLevel>
        <osgi.bundles.defaultStartLevel>20</osgi.bundles.defaultStartLevel>
</systemProperties>

The tycho code in [2] does not consider the system property in the
config.ini but sets the default startlevel to 4 and just appends the
system properties with -D[...].
The command line properties do neither take precendence nor are they
considered at all, if they don't have a command line equivalent in
[2].
Is there chance to make tycho consider the _known_ system properties
(as described in [1]) and put them into config.ini instead of the
command line?

Steffen
