Setting Maven params in Jenkins

Question

I am experimenting the Jenkins, and am looking for a way to allow Jenkins to set parameters for different project builds. Normally all these attributes are stored in the set

There are some options for you. Here's what I'm using:

Create profiles in your build.

    
        
            findbugs-exclude.xml
        
    
    
        
            
                org.codehaus.mojo
                findbugs-maven-plugin
                
                    findbugs-exclude.xml
                
            
        
    


    package
    
        
            
                org.apache.maven.plugins
                maven-dependency-plugin
                
                    
                        copy-dependencies
                        package
                        
                            copy-dependencies
                        
                        
                            ${project.build.directory}/lib
                            false
                            false
                            true
                            runtime
                        
                    
                
            
        
    

The you can define in jenkins clean install -P package - for package task or clean install for normal build

Put parameters directly to pom from command line:

Maven call:

mvn clean install -Dparameter.one=ONE -Dparameter.two=TWO

POM:

    4.0.0
    com.test
    test
    1.0.0
    test
    
        6.4
    

    
        
            org.testng
            testng
            ${testng.version}
            test
        
    

If you run it normally testng version 6.4 will be used. But if you run it like: mvn clean install -Dtestng.version=6.3.1 testng version 6.3.1 will be used.

See

You can parametrize default part of pom (setting default values directly and overriding it by execution properties)

Finally you can use environment variables Parameterized Build or Parameterized Trigger Plugin

Change in last example version:

    org.testng
    testng
    ${env.testngVersion}
    test

In bash you can call:

export testngVersion=6.0
mvn clean install

Or in jenkins by setting testngVersion=6.0 in This build is parameterized section
