How to pass Maven settings via environmental vars

Question

In our setting.xml file we have the following:

    
      deploymentRepo
      repouser<         


        

Answer 1

You can pass values from command line

mvn -Dvar=someValue -Dtest.username=xyz install

In the POM file, you can refer to system variables (specified on the command line, or in the pom) as ${var}, and environment variables as ${env.myVariable} i.e,${test.username}

You can also refer to the sure-fire plugin doc
