Re: release:perform ignores commandline parameters even with -Darguments
First off, release:prepare isn't a phase, it's a goal. Secondly, my guess is that you're misdiagnosing the problem. Running release:perform with -X would confirm this. Instead, what I think is happening is that your command line properties aren't being passed to the forked Maven instance. Take a look at http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin/examples/perform-release.html. There isn't, AFAIK, a way to pass through command-line properties from release:perform to the forked instance. Instead, what you should do is create a profile and set the properties you want set during a release and then include the profile name in the releaseProfiles property of the release plugin.

RE: release:perform ignores commandline parameters even with -Darguments
Thank you for your help and sorry about the ultra newbie mistakes. In my case though, the value I need to receive at the commandline is never the same... I'll try release:perform -X to get more info and troubleshoot from there.

The bits of Maven which do forked execution are always a bit tricky. And, to make my point, I completely forgot about passing the arguments parameter. You should be able to do -Darguments=-Dmy.parameter=my.value (note the quotes!) Justin In my case though, the value I need to receive at the commandline is never the same...
