Maven spring boot run debug with arguments

Usually I'm running my Spring Boot application with command:

mvn spring-boot:run -Drun.arguments=--server.port=9090 \
   -Dpath.to.config.dir=/var/data/my/config/dir

I want to set custom port to debug, so I can connect from eclipse. When I add arguments from example https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/1.1.2.RELEASE/maven-plugin/examples/run-debug.html

mvn spring-boot:run -Drun.arguments=--server.port=9090 \
   -Dpath.to.config.dir=/var/data/my/config/dir \
   -Drun.jvmArguments="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,address=8787"

it works but other arguments like server.port or path.to.config.dir are no longer recognized and I get exception like:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Failed
to parse configuration class [com.my.app.Controller]; nested exception
is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not resolve placeholder
'path.to.config.dir' in string value
file:///${path.to.config.dir}/some.properties"

Question: How I can run with all arguments?

spring-boot maven-3 maven spring java

The parameter name has to be prefixed with spring-boot. as in -Dspring-boot.run.jvmArgument

The Spring Boot documentation provided me the solution as I'm running Spring Boot 2.0.3

mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.jvmArguments="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=5005"

Following redhat documentation ..

mvn spring-boot:run -Drun.jvmArguments="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=$PORT_NUMBER"

Override spring-boot properties from Maven command line using Powershell:

  • Spring Boot 2.4.4
  • Maven 3.6.3
  • Powershell Windows 10

This worked for me:

mvn spring-boot:run  -D"spring-boot.run.jvmArguments"="-Dimport.dataset.list=importpb"

One more issue is there. If pom.xml defines jvmArguments then command line arguments are ignored

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <jvmArguments>-Xmx2048m -XX:NativeMemoryTracking=summary --enable-preview</jvmArguments>
        </configuration>
</plugin>

If I would like to add debug properties to one of launchers

-Dspring-boot.run.jvmArguments="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=8282"

It is not gonna work.
