How to "put" maven command line in pom.xml?

How can I "put" a command line parameter to be executed from pom.xml. For example I have:

mvn clean install -Dmyparameter

And I wish It to be executed from pom.xml instead from command line.

It depends on which phase you need to use the args. It can be done on plugins by changing the configuration parameter.

<pluginManagement>
    <plugin>
        ......
        ......
        <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
            <arguments>-Dmaven.test.skip=true -D[other arguments that u need to include]</arguments>
        </configuration>
        ......
        ......
</plugin> </pluginManagement>

Same way in the sure fire plugin u can skip test and so on!!

You can try to use maven-exec-plugin:

mvn clean install exec:exec -Dexecutable=<absolute path to binary>

Also it can be bound to some phase of lifecycle to be executed in the middle of the build (without explicit call by exec:exec) and defined in profile with activation if property exists to run optionally:

   <profiles>
  <profile>
    <id>exec</id>
    <activation>
      <property>
        <name>executable</name>
      </property>
    </activation>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.1</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>exec</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>exec</goal>
            </goals>
            <phase>package</phase>
          </execution>
        </executions>
        <configuration>
          <executable>${executable}</executable>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </profile>
</profiles>
