Hello, AFAIK, system properties doesn't have expressions like project properties do.
Using System.getProperty() will work, but you'd be better off passing parameters (just like how you mentioned) as the advantages are: you could inject the values thru the command line and you could specify the parameters in pom.xml. Did I get you right? Kindly correct me if I'm wrong. :) Cheers!
