1) ok so when I call maven from the command line like "maven mygoal" how do I specify these things? like "maven mygoal -Dmyoption=myvalue" ? 2) how can I get a handle on that variable from within my goal scripts? 3) how can I get a handle on the classpath from the dependencies in my project.xml? Thanks, David
