This seems like a ridiculously simple problem, but I'm pulling my hair out just specifying a property on the command line. I'd like my properties defined on the command line to register at all with various plugins, but I just can't get it to work. For example, I'd like to do the following:
mvn -Durl="myurl" tomcat:deploy or mvn tomcat:deploy -Durl="myurl" In my understanding, the plugin should use the "myurl" value for the "url" property. Is that not correct? I can't get the tomcat plugin to understand the url change, nor can I get my own test plugins to use command line properties instead of properties defined in the pom. Is there some special annotation I need to use in the plugin? I can configure this fine in the pom or in the settings.xml, but I'm deploying to multiple servers and would therefore like to do it on the command line with a script. Thanks very much. -Adam
