How to use maven run parameters in the maven project?

Question

I am having a new Maven project and I want to pass parameters through command line..

This is my requirement -

If I pass - install -Dinfra=local then my test should run on local machine

If I pass - install -Dinfra=ip then my test should run on the machine having desired ip.

I just wanted to know how to configure this infra into my project so that I can access that through command line.. Many thanks!

Do you need to access the parameter from your code? If so, please see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11500533/access-maven-properties-defined-in-the-pom. — gjoranv, Jan 02 '18 at 13:53

You can define a property in your POM:

<project>
    ...
    <properties>
         <infra>local</infra>
    </properties>
    ...
</project>

Then you can reference it in the POM by using ${infra}. You can overwrite the value of the property through the command line (as in your example).
