overwrite set system properties at runtime in maven pom

Question

I am using org.eclipse.images.renderer plugin to render my images from svg to png. Eclipse has provided support to create highDpi icons as well which requires 2 more arguments to be passed eclipse.svg.scale=2 and eclipse.svg.createFragments=false (to not create separate folder). I want to render both normal icons and high-dpi icons both through my pom, but giving those 2 arguments overwrite my configurations and hence for both the executions I get the same type of icons. Is there any way to overwrite the eclipse.svg.scale property to use 1 for one execution and 2 for the second execution. Attaching my POM for reference:

In my POM I have added 2 execution items to render icons and used properties-maven-plugin plugin to set the set-system-properties for setting the properties. But these properties are being set to both the executions.

I want to use the eclipse.svg.scale property as 1 for one execution and as 2 for second execution. Is it possible to be done by configuring the POM itself. Please help.

Answer 1

You can use a maven "profile" to control specific executions.

Maven Profiles Documentation

Set up your project with 2 profiles, let's say svgscale1 and svgscale2

Then you invoke the maven build like this:

mvn clean install -Psvgscale1
mvn clean install -Psvgscale2
