Answer 1

Setting the webdriver.chrome.driver system property via maven can be done by the following (and tested working):

1. Add systemPropertyVariables configuration to the maven-surefire-plugin in your pom.xml. This is (typically) because surefire is the caller for tests and where system properties will be set.

   
       maven-surefire-plugin
       2.7.1
       
           
               ${webdriver.chrome}
           
       
   
   

2. Now define ${webdriver.chrome} somewhere. A good start is a section in your pom.xml

   
       /home/gede/bin/chromedriver
   
   

Potentially this could be done better via the use of like in Simon Martinelli's example
