Set plugin's property on the command line in maven 2

Question

In maven 2.x, how would one set a plugin\'s property on the command line instead of in the of that plugin in the pom or in settings.xml?

For exampl

Answer 1

Answer was right in front of me in the copy-dependencies mojo docs (I even linked to it). The documentation for the property includes the Expression you can refer to it by.

useRepositoryLayout: Place each artifact in the same directory layout as a default repository. example: /outputDirectory/junit/junit/3.8.1/junit-3.8.1.jar

* Type: boolean
* Since: 2.0-alpha-2
* Required: No
* Expression: ${mdep.useRepositoryLayout}
* Default: false

To set this property from command line you need to run

mvn -Dmdep.useRepositoryLayout=true
