Jenkins maven-release-plugin -D 属性在 pom 中使用

Question

How to use -D argument in the pom.xml when performing a release in Jenkins? mvn --help say:

-D,--define <arg>                      Define a system property

But if I use -D property as system variable, sys.someProperty , it is not visible.

Example: pom.xml : ...

<properties>
    <jira.password>${sys.password}</jira.password>
</properties>

Command:

mvn -B -f pom.xml -DdevelopmentVersion=2.5-SNAPSHOT -DreleaseVersion=2.4 -Dusername=ivan -Dresume=false release:prepare release:perform -Dpassword=*********

Answer 1

When you are using the maven-release-plugin , the system arguments must be written in the arguments system property. This is because the release is performed in a forked Maven instance so system properties set before are lost.

Example to skip the tests during release:

mvn -B release:prepare -Darguments="-DskipTests=true"
