How can I use maven.jar.compress with maven2

[Venkatagopalaraju]

Dear Maven users,
      I am using Maven2.0.2. According to my requirement, I need to use 
maven.jar.compress option with maven2. I tried with command line properties as 
like -Dmaven.jar.compress=false. But it is not working. How I am able to use 
this property with maven 2. Could anyone help me out from this problem.


Thanks & Regards
