I made a settings.xml in my project's root area, my goal was to have a variable for all <version> tags because I don't want to go changing all those and risking them being out of sync. So settings.xml looks like the following, and I do mvn -s settings.xml so it uses this instead of any user one I have locally:
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd";> <profiles> <profile> <id>default</id> <activation> <activeByDefault /> </activation> <properties> <globalVersion>1</globalVersion> </properties> </profile> </profiles> <activeProfiles> <activeProfile>default</activeProfile> </activeProfiles> </settings> > -----Original Message----- > From: Matthew Tordoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2008 10:41 AM > To: Maven Users List > Subject: RE: Setting Java System property > > That's pretty much the same as what I found.
