<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
<configuration>
<executable>jdb</executable>
<arguments>
<argument>-classpath</argument>
<classpath />
<argument>${jdb.mainClass}</argument>
</arguments>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>exec</goal>

We can get close. If you use the block above, you would launch with:
mvn -Djdb.mainClass=<Class> exec:exec
Where "jdb.mainClass" is the property used in the XML above. And if that is
not concise enough for your taste you can choose a property with a shorter
name.
Working example inside a profile with a specific main class is here:

Regards,
Curtis
