Andris Rauda commented on MNG-2046: ----------------------------------- I'd say that this IS a problem. In my case - I'm trying to read build.number property from file, generated by Bamboo integration server for each build. When using Ant, it is possible to read property file using -propertyfile. Spent few hours Googling - it seams that there is actually NO WAY to read a custom properties file, except for, maybe, writing special plugin for this. I found few unanswered posts on this issue. I found, that this was listed as a problem Nr 1. on Andreas Schaefer's "Short Review of Maven 2" (written more than year ago!) http://weblogs.java.net/blog/schaefa/archive/2005/12/a_short_review_1.html > External property file in command line > -------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2046 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2046 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Command Line > Affects Versions: 2.0.2 > Reporter: Raphaƫl Corre > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.1.x > > > It would be great to allow the option "-propertyfile" in the command line, > like Ant does to load multi properties.
