Setting properties in pom.xml from command line

[Geir Gullestad Pettersen]

Hi,

Is it possible to inject properties into pom.xml from the command line at
runtime?

consider this dependency:

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>mygroup</groupId>
            <artifactId>myartifact</artifactId>
            <version>${mygroup-myartifact.version}</version>
            <type>war</type>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

${mygroup-myartifact.version} can of course be set in the <properties> tag,
but I need to be able to change the version number without changing pom.xml.
This should peferrably be done from command line - is there a way to set
properties from commandline?

Thanks,
Geir
