Replace Maven properties in pom.xml via command line

Question

I want to replace a Maven property in a pom.xml file with a command line call via some Maven plugin.

<properties>
    <my.property>ISO-8859-1</my.property>
<properties>

Do you know of a plugin which is able to do that?

The versions plugin takes very long since it checks whether some dependency is available. Besides that it doesn't work in my case.

You don't need a Maven plugin, just do `-Dmy.property=UTF-8` on the command line — Tunaki, Oct 14 '15 at 16:14
If you are trying to modifying the pom file via maven :-), then its not possible — Sajan Chandran, Oct 14 '15 at 16:15
Without more clarification, this is a dup of [How can I update a property in a Maven POM?](https://stackoverflow.com/q/25034556/86967) — Brent Bradburn, Aug 15 '18 at 02:42

All you need to do is add the following when running maven on the command line

-Dmy.property=propertyValue
