release:perform ignores commandline parameters even with -Darguments
Hello,
I seem to be having a problem with the release:perform plugin.
I need to send a parameter at the commandline such as -Dmy.parameter=my.value.
When I do so with every other phase, it is taken into account and works fine (even in the release:prepare phase where I use mvn release:prepare -Dmy.parameter=my.value -Darguments="-Dmy.parameter=my.value").
When I try with mvn release:perform -Dmy.parameter=my.value -Darguments="-Dmy.parameter=my.value", it does not work. The release:perform acts as if the parameter was never sent.
I've searched the web for such a problem but haven't been able to find an answer.
Can anybody help please?
Using Maven 2.2.1, using maven-release-plugin version 2.0
Thanks!

Didn't mean to suggest this was a newbie mistake. The bits of Maven
which do forked execution are always a bit tricky.
And, to make my point, I completely forgot about passing the arguments
parameter. You should be able to do
-Darguments="-Dmy.parameter=my.value" (note the quotes!)

Thank you for your help and sorry about the "ultra newbie" mistakes.
In my case though, the value I need to receive at the commandline is never the same...
I'll try release:perform -X to get more info and troubleshoot from there. Thx

First off, release:prepare isn't a phase, it's a goal.
Secondly, my guess is that you're misdiagnosing the problem. Running release:perform with -X would confirm this. Instead, what I think is happening is that your command line properties aren't being passed to the forked Maven instance. Take a look at http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/perform-release.html.
There isn't, AFAIK, a way to pass through command-line properties from release:perform to the forked instance. Instead, what you should do is create a profile and set the properties you want set during a release and then include the profile name in the releaseProfiles property of the release plugin.
