Making Maven command line parameter mandatory

I'm writing a small project to learn about Maven and Spring Framework. To run my project I run following command:

clean install exec:java -e -DinputFolder=src/main/resources/testCases

Is there a way to make inputFolder parameter mandatory when running this?

Thanks.

The Maven Enforcer Plugin can be used to require properties to be configured for your build. The requireProperty rule will do the job.

<project> [...] <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-enforcer-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.0.0-M1</version> <executions> <execution> <id>enforce-property</id> <goals> <goal>enforce</goal> </goals> <configuration> <rules> <requireProperty> <property>inputFolder</property> <message>inputFolder property must be set</message> </requireProperty> </rules> <fail>true</fail> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> [...] </project>
