maven override project.version from command line

Question

I wonder if it is possible to override project.version/version variable in maven via command line?

The following doesn\'t work:

mvn deploy -Dversion=1.         


        

Answer 1

Yes, you can override the project version by passing the required variable from the command line.

Make sure you are using the variable in your pom.xml

Eg:

mvn deploy -Dversion=1.0-test-SNAPSHOT 

in pom.xml

${version}

This should get picked during runtime. If this approach does not works, can you please show how you are using them in your pom.xml ?
