How to override maven property in command line? - maven

Question

I have the following plain pom running by Maven 3.0.4.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>test</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
</project>
I am trying to override default settings in command line like this:
mvn -Dproject.build.finalName=build clean package
But this this is ignored, and I get test-1.0.jar. I've tried to change another properties, like outputDirectory, directory, artifactId, but also failed.
What is the proper way to do this thing?

Answer 1

See Introduction to the POM
finalName is created as:
<build>
<finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</finalName>
</build>
One of the solutions is to add own property:
<properties>
<finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</finalName>
</properties>
<build>
<finalName>${finalName}</finalName>
</build>
And now try:
mvn -DfinalName=build clean package
