Little known Intellij feature: maven surefire argline integration

While adjusting the test setup of a project, I was surprised to see, that whatever parameters I had in my pom.xml for surefire also took effect when launching a test inside IntelliJ IDEA, without maven involved at all!












So the above memory setting takes effect even if you use the "Run as test" feature of IntelliJ IDEA. Here is the respective part of the user manual of Intellij.
