Spring Boot: passing system properties to maven

Question

I tried:

mvn -Dspring.profiles.active=dev spring-boot:run

but it does not affect my default configuration. I\'ve googled a little and found:

Answer 1

Try running your application with:

mvn spring-boot:run -Drun.jvmArguments="-Dspring.profiles.active=dev"

I don't know which version your are using but check this issue too

Answer 2

With the current version (>= 2.0.0.RELEASE), the parameter is -Dspring-boot.run.jvmArguments

Source: Sprint-boot plugin

mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.jvmArguments="-Dspring.profiles.active=dev"

It's also possible to do:

mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.profiles=dev

Answer 3

I also tried many ways. But in the end, what worked for me was setting them in pom.xml as mentioned in the documentation.

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    ...
    <plugins>
      ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.2.RELEASE</version>
        <configuration>
            <environmentVariables>
                <ENV1>5000</ENV1>
                <ENV2>Some Text</ENV2>
                <ENV3/>
                <ENV4></ENV4>
            </environmentVariables>
        </configuration>
        ...
      </plugin>
      ...
    </plugins>
    ...
  </build>
  ...
</project>
