The POM that my project inherits contains some <pluginManagement>
for the release
plugin that specifies some additional arguments
.
My question is: Is there a way to override the arguments
parameter from the command line in this case?
The parent POM has this:
<pluginManagement>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<arguments>-Prelease</arguments>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</pluginManagement>
Due to that the command line argument doesn't work:
mvn release:prepare -Darguments="-Pmock -Prelease"
The -Darguments="-Pmock -Prelease"
part has no effect. When arguments
is not already specified, it works.
It is not possible for me to modify the parent POM or not to use it.
Found the solution. In my POM I add this which overrides the settings in the parent POM and allows to specify additional arguments on command line, e.g. -Darguments=-Pmock
<pluginManagement>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<arguments>${arguments} -Prelease</arguments>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</pluginManagement>
