>                 Key: MNG-7415
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7415
>             Project: Maven
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Command Line
>    Affects Versions: 3.8.4
>            Reporter: Neil Crow
>            Priority: Major
>
> In order to skip or debug integration tests or run a single test we need to define system properties on the command line.  
> Whenever I try to define a system property with a dot in the name I get the following error:  
>  
> {noformat}
> mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
> [ERROR] Unknown lifecycle phase ".test.skip=true". You must specify a valid lifecycle phase or a goal in the format
> {noformat}
> This command works OK
> {noformat}
> mvn install -DskipITs{noformat}
>  
> There are several examples in the documentation which call for dotted system properties to be passed, all of which seem to be affected by this issue:
>  * mvn -Dit.test=ITCircle verify
>  * mvn -Dmaven.failsafe.debug verify
>  * mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
> I have noticed that if I put a space after the -D then it appears to work.
>  * mvn -D maven.failsafe.debug verify
>  * mvn install -D maven.test.skip=true
>
