Specify Platform Name on a POM XML surefire plugin

Question

I am trying to setup this project for Parallel Mobile automation using Intellij IDEA on a Windows 10 environment. When I run the project with the specified command "mvn clean -Dtest=Runner test -DPlatform=android" from the IDE terminal I have this output:

[INFO] Running com.appium.tests.Runner [ERROR] Tests run: 1, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 0.247 s <<< FAILURE! - in com.appium.tests.Runner [ERROR] testApp(com.appium.tests.Runner) Time elapsed: 0.01 s <<< FAILURE! java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Please execute with Platform environment:: Platform=android/ios/both mvn clean -Dtest=Runner test at com.appium.tests.Runner.testApp(Runner.java:14)

On my POM.XML under surefire plugin I put as a property variable ${Platform} which is not recognized by the IDEA with an error "Cannot resolve symbol 'Platform' "

       <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.22.0</version>
            <configuration>
                <properties>
                    <Platform>${Platform}</Platform>
                </properties>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

Any help will be appreciated.
