title: Maven Surefire is Not Respecting TestNG Listeners in Property Tag
body: <p>I am trying to run listeners with Maven + Surefire + TestNG as per documentation: <a href="http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/testng.html#Using_Custom_Listeners_and_Reporters" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/testng.html#Using_Custom_Listeners_and_Reporters</a></p>
  
  <p>Here is relevant code from my POM:</p>
  
  <pre><code>                &lt;plugin&gt;
                      &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.maven.plugins&lt;/groupId&gt;
                      &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-surefire-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
                      &lt;version&gt;2.20.1&lt;/version&gt;
                      &lt;configuration&gt;
                          &lt;includes&gt;
                              &lt;include&gt;**/*IT.class&lt;/include&gt;
                          &lt;/includes&gt;
                          &lt;properties&gt;
                              &lt;property&gt;
                                  &lt;name&gt;usedefaultlisteners&lt;/name&gt;
                                  &lt;!-- disabling default listeners is optional --&gt;
                                  &lt;value&gt;false&lt;/value&gt;
                              &lt;/property&gt;
                              &lt;property&gt;
                                  &lt;name&gt;listener&lt;/name&gt;
                                  &lt;value&gt;cucumber.poc.config.LocalWebDriverListener&lt;/value&gt;
                              &lt;/property&gt;
  
                          &lt;/properties&gt;
                      &lt;/configuration&gt;
                  &lt;/plugin&gt;
