Description
The use case for me is that essentially I run my testcases in maven
with surefire plugin.
Only if something goes wrong I switch to the test runner to analyze the details.
Then I switch back.
Currently, I have to configure both, the test runner in settings, and maven in the pom.
It would be some help if I could use the variables available in maven pom.
At least the ones available for maven projects,
better in addition those defined in the properties section in the pom.
Even better if I just can use the config of the surefire plugin.
Even helpful it would be if the settings in both worlds are comparable.
So I miss a way to include and exclude tests in test runner as provided by the surefire plugin.
Concrete suggestion: setting to syncronize with surefire
"java.test.conig": {
"syncSurefire": "true" % with default false
}

Research direction
Start by reviewing the test runner settings, the Maven pom, and the Surefire plugin configuration described in the issue. Define how synchronization should handle Maven project variables, pom properties, and Surefire include/exclude settings; done means the proposed sync setting produces comparable test-runner behavior without duplicate configuration.
