Specifying parameters on the command-line interface using -D syntax requires 
mdep refix.

                 Key: MDEP-216
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-216
             Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: copy-dependencies
    Affects Versions: 2.1, 2.0, 2.0-alpha-4, 2.0-alpha-3, 2.0-alpha-2, 
2.0-alpha-1, 2.2
         Environment: Maven 2.0.9, dependency plugin 2.0.

I used the dependency:copy-dependencies goal on the command-line, and wanted to 
set the "failOnMissingClassifierArtifact" option to "false".
Command-line used:

mvn -Dclassifier=sources -DfailOnMissingClassifierArtifact=false 
-DoutputDirectory=x/y/z dependency:copy-dependencies

The problem is that the "failOnMissingClassifierArtifact" remained "true". This 
was also visible after running maven in debug mode. After looking in the source 
code, I saw that the "failOnMissingClassifierArtifact" class field was 
specified as '@parameter expression="${mdep.failOnMissingClassifierArtifact}" 
default-value="true"'.
The "outputDirectory" parameter however was specified as '@parameter 
expression="${outputDirectory}" 
default-value="${project.build.directory}/dependency"'.
Thus, without the "mdep." prefix.

The outputDirectory worked so I changed the commandline to include the *mdep.* 
prefix:

mvn -Dclassifier=sources -Dmdep.failOnMissingClassifierArtifact=false 
-DoutputDirectory=x/y/z dependency:copy-dependencies

Now it worked. According to the documentation however the "mdep." prefix is not 
needed, and I would find it strange if it was needed. I think this problem is 
also true for other parameters, maybe even for other goals.
