Did you already have a look at the [maven reference](http://books.sonatype.com/mvnref-book/reference/running-sect-options.html)? — SpaceTrucker, Jun 13 '14 at 13:12

change "property from commandline" to ${someproperty}. Makes your code complete. – Balaji Boggaram Ramanarayan Feb 01 '18 at 22:23
in my case (GitHub Actions) you had to remove the quotation marks – renraku Jan 19 '23 at 13:56

We can Supply parameter in different way after some search I found some useful

<plugin>
  <artifactId>${release.artifactId}</artifactId>
  <version>${release.version}-${release.svm.version}</version>...

...

Actually in my application I need to save and supply SVN Version as parameter so i have implemented as above .

While Running build we need supply value for those parameter as follows.

RestProj_Bizs>mvn clean install package -Drelease.artifactId=RestAPIBiz -Drelease.version=10.6 -Drelease.svm.version=74

Here I am supplying

release.artifactId=RestAPIBiz
release.version=10.6
release.svm.version=74

It worked for me. Thanks

If we have parameter like below in our POM XML

<version>${project.version}.${svn.version}</version>
  <packaging>war</packaging>

I run maven command line as follows :

mvn clean install package -Dproject.version=10 -Dsvn.version=1
