Question

For example, when I run:

C:\_SVN\myCode>mvn clean test -Dtest=TestSomething -Ddfkasfjkasdjffkjweijfijaskdf=false

the Maven build just does its thing as usual, gives me the same results as if I had made no mispelling at all (AFAICT).

Is there a way to get confirmation that I spelled the property name correctly (or at least input something valid)?

Answer 1

I’m thinking about 2 solutions here:

1. mvn is just a script, which runs some maven jars. You might add some code to the script, which will check your syntax.
2. You might create maven plugin, which will validate passed properties.
