Passing a parameter from Jenkins into Java

We've set up some parameters for executing a build in Jenkins (using the simple "parameterized build" setting). The job is set up as Maven test. Is there a way to programmatically pass those parameters into our Java code? We need to execute certain update functions based on the parameter set via Jenkins.

Yes you can pass your Jenkins parameters to your Java code through the maven execution like this:

mvn clean test -Dparam1=$JOB_PARAM_1

Note that the $JOB_PARAM_1 will capture the value of the parameter set on Jenkins. This is for Unix environments, if you are working with Jenkins on Windows, then use %JOB_PARAM_1% instead.

To set the properties, you need to set it using the commandline. For example : export BROWSER =chrome

You can set it in This build is parameterized section of your jenkins build configuration.

you have BROWSER parameter set in jenkins configuration then you can use %BROWSER% in your pom where you need to set the browser.
