Passing command line arguments from Maven as properties in pom.xml

Question

Is it possible to pass arguments from command line to properties in pom.xml file ? for example I run mvn ... argument

and in pom.xml

<properties>
   <myproperty> here should add argument from command line</myproperty>
</properties>

Thank you for the help.

Answer 1

For your property example do:

mvn install "-Dmyproperty=my property from command line"

Note quotes around whole property definition. You'll need them if your property contains spaces.
