overriding properties via -D
Hi all -
I've googled around and searched the mailing lists as I think this is a pretty simple thing to do, but didn't find a clear answer.
If there is a profile that has a <properties> stanza in it and in turn is setting a property, are you not allowed to override that setting via a -Dfoo=bar commandline option?
There are a couple of places where instead of defining a whole new profiles with just the value I'd like to change is inefficient.

Posted by EJ Ciramella <ec...@casenetinc.com>.
Huh - what version of maven are you using?
Is this part of the resources plugin or is this core maven that does this?
(I'm wondering if somewhere we have some wonky old plugin configured)

It works fine for me, I had a test with Maven 3.0.2 and the following POM :

RE: overriding properties via -D
Posted by EJ Ciramella <ec...@casenetinc.com>.
Yep, I can clearly see that the -D property is NOT overriding the same property set in a profile.
Just so I'm clear, there is a profile that has a bunch of settings that we want ALL of but ONE. On occasion.
So instead of creating an entirely new profile, it would be so much simpler to just set the property (on those rare occasions) via -D.
It seems like it's a known issue and it seems like it is supposedly resolved, so I can't tell if this is a regression or this is so simple I'm missing it.
Thanks again for the feedback!

Hi,
To be sure that properties are correctly overridden, you can use
maven-help-plugin with the goal effective-pom, like this :
1) mvn help:effective-pom -Doutput=pom-default.xml
2) mvn help:effective-pom -Dfoo=bar -Doutput=pom-override.xml

Hi,
To be sure that properties are correctly overridden, you can use
maven-help-plugin with the goal effective-pom, like this :
1) mvn help:effective-pom -Doutput=pom-default.xml
2) mvn help:effective-pom -Dfoo=bar -Doutput=pom-override.xml
3) mvn help:effective-pom -P profil -Dfoo=bar
-Doutput=pom-profil-override.xml
4) mvn help:effective-pom -P profil -Doutput=pom-profil.xml
Then compare the foo properties in this files.

Hi all -
I've googled around and searched the mailing lists as I think this is a pretty simple thing to do, but didn't find a clear answer.
If there is a profile that has a <properties> stanza in it and in turn is setting a property, are you not allowed to override that setting via a -Dfoo=bar commandline option?
There are a couple of places where instead of defining a whole new profiles with just the value I'd like to change is inefficient.
