Yes, the parameter name is the one used in the configuration section of the
pom.xml file. In order to set it from the command line, the parameter has
also an expression tag that allows to specify the default value (which may
be dynamically computed by Maven at runtime). In our case, the expression is
${buildhelper.removeAll} so you must set a property called
buildhelper.removeAll on the command line in order to set its value.Regards Jeff MAURY On Wed, Sep 8, 2010 at 2:34 PM, Lewis, Eric <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Jeff > > Thanks, that worked! > > However, I'm now confused :-) > > According to > http://mojo.codehaus.org/build-helper-maven-plugin/remove-project-artifact-mojo.htmlthe > parameter is called "removeAll". > My understanding of plugin parameters on the command line was that you just > use them with -D > Am I wrong? > > Best regards, > Eric > > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Jeff > MAURY > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 8.
