[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-12422) Rely on surefire.timeout property for test to allow better control from CLI

[Mickael Istria (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12422?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12711365#comment-12711365 ] 

Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-12422:
----------------------------------------

In tycho-surefire-plugin, the argument in configuration block is forkedProcessTimeoutInSeconds, it's a maven parameter, set to property ${surefire.timeout}. Before, we directly configured this argument in pom.xml.
The patch suppresses direct configuration of this argument to rely on the surefire.timeout property instead, which is used by maven to set a default value to the forkedProcessTimeoutInSeconds argument when nothing is set. It does not add a new property, it just rely on surefire.timeout.

So there is no new property, but now setting surefire.timeout via command-line works.

> The timeout property is hardcoded in parent and other poms inside the tycho-surefire-plugin configuration block. It makes that passing the surefire.timeout property from command-line is not efficient.
> Instead, we should fully rely on this property to control timeout, so we'll provide ability to override its value from command-line
