Kind regards, -- Marc -----Original Message----- From: William Ferguson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 25 August 2006 08:32 To: Maven Users List Subject: RE: Plugin Development Issue To allow your parameter to be specified from the command line yoour parameter specification needs to define the name of the commandline parameter that it will accept. Eg /** * @parameter expression="${foo.bar}" */ private String verbose; Should work with a commandline of mvn cleartrust:extract -Dfoo.bar=Testing The POM configuration should work. Are you sure you've defined the verbose element within your plugin definition's <configuration> block? William -----Original Message----- > From: Marc L.
