How to inject configuration parameter through command line?

For a plugin having configuration like
<configuration>
  <param1>foo</param1>
  <param2>bar</param2>
</configuration>

Is it possible to set/change/override parameters through command-line? I
tried -DpluginName.param1=value1, but doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

If you use replacement variables like so:

<configuration>
  <param1>${value1}</param1>
  <param2>${value2}</param2>
</configuration>

you can then supply the properties on the command line like so:

$ mvn -Dvalue1=willy -Dvalue2=wonka

or you can even introduce those properties into the pom like this here:

<project>
  ...
  <properties>
    <value1>willy</value1>
    <value2>wonka</value2>
  </properties>
  ...
</project>

 <configuration>
   <param1>${val1}</param1>
   <param2>${val2}</param2>
 </configuration>

 <properties>
   <val1>foo</val1>
   <val2>bar</val2>
 </properties>


Then foo and bar are the defaults, but 
  -Dval1=baz
should override val1.

Regards,
Simon
