Setting default values for custom Maven 2 properties

by

You can have the property default value defined in <build>/<properties> or in a profile like shown below. When you supply the property value on command line with -DmyProperty=anotherValue then it will override the definition from the POM. That is, all definitions of property values in the POM are set only a default value for the properties.

<profile>
    ...
    <properties>
        <myProperty>defaultValue</myProperty>            
    </properties>
    ...
       <configuration>
          <param>${myProperty}</param>
       </configuration>
    ...
</profile>
