My command was actually wondering why we didn't have a TEST.properties in java/util/prefs to define this property, I didn't spot that it is already defined in TEST.ROOT in the root directory. If that wasn't there then I would have expected to see a lot more issues running these tests concurrently. It sounds like this may be useful for the SA or jhsdb tests too.
