It's the way do define sys props tru cli (-D,--define <arg> Define a system property ) The sample is to override/define mojo/plugin property. Perso, the most I use daily are: * -Dsurefire.useFile=false (will output unit test trace in console) *-Dtest=MyTest (to run only this unit test note the support of -Dtest=MyTest#myMethod to run only this method).
You must have a look at plugin documentation to see which mojo/plugin fields are configurable tru cli. In plugin site documentation http://maven.apache.org/plugins (sample http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html) Or tru cli : mvn surefire:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=test So welcome in the Apache Maven world and I hope you will have fun :-) > > I will appreciate if any one can give me some info.
