Maven additional arguments in IDEA

Hi,

I have been trying to find a way to specify addional arguments to a maven target/goal.
For example in the command line I could write

mvn compile -Denforcer.skip=true

or

mvn compile -Pprofile


Can someone teach me how to set up specific properties or profiles like in the previous example.

Cheers.

Vitor.

How are you executing the goals?  If you are using the Maven tool window there is a "Profiles" tree you can expand and check off the ones you want (it reads these from your settings and POM):

If you are executing via Run Configuration there is a field specifically for profiles:
run_conf.png

In the "Runner" tab of that same screen you can set VM options which is where you can put your -D options.  You can create Run Configurations from the Maven Tool Window by right clicking a goal and selecting "Create" with the little gear next to it.
