Greetings:

I am using IAM in eclipse 3.4 on windows. I have a project configuration
where I need to pass the property "-Plocal -Dmaven.test.skip=true" to the
build process so that it pulls in the correct environment properties and
skips running the tests. I can do this on the command in one line "mvn
clean install -Plocal -Dmaven.test.skip=true"

Within eclipse If I go to run configuration and pick a new maven build, I
can specify the project goals "clean install" in the goals input box but
it does not allow me to pass the "-Plocal -Dmaven.test.skip=true" there.
When I do that, I get an "Invalid task '-Plocal'..." error and the build
doesn't complete. I try adding them as key/value pairs below in the other
input area, but that doesn't work either.

Does anyone here know how to pass this extra parameters to the build
within the editor? Thanks for your input.

Bill.

Hello Bill,

You need to specify the profile (-Plocal) and the properties
(-Dmaven.test.skip) separately.

To enable a profile, open the Profile view (CTRL+3 "Profile"). You should
see all the defined profiles when selecting a project and be able to
enable them by clicking on the checkbox.

You can also define globally active profiles in the preferences (Maven >
Profiles) or per project (Project Properties > Maven JDT).

Properties can be enabled on custom maven launches (Maven 2 > Execute
Goal) and launch configurations.
In both cases, just click the "New" button in the Goal Properties section.

Note that you can also define properties on your profiles (this is allowed
by Maven, IAM does nothing special).

Hope this helps!
