"compilerArguments" for maven-compiler-plugin

[Yan Huang <az...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Regarding maven-compiler-plugin, is there a way to pass compiler arguments
on the command line rather than through pom.xml? I don't find "expression"
defined in its manual page though.

Thanks
Yan

Maven does not really "like" passing things via arguments -- this is
the exception rather than the norm.

You could probably use -Dmy.arg="blah blah" and then in the
m-compiler-p set <compilerArguments>${my.arg}. But this is not the
"right" way to use Maven.

If you have a few different sets of arguments, you should declare them
in a profile, and set one to be active by default.
