How to pass an environment variable to a process running as mvn jetty: run?

Question

The process started by the maven consoles plugin ignores any environment variables that I specify. So far, I have been trying to add a variable through the command line, for example:

set myvariable=1 

I also tried adding something like "-Dmyvariable = 1" to the MAVEN_OPTS variable.

Nothing helps.
To be clear, I need to pass the variable not to maven, but to the resulting process, that is, directly to the berth server.

You need to specify the systemProperties section in the plugin configuration:

 <project> ... <plugins> ... <plugin> <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> ... <systemProperties> <systemProperty> <name>myvariable</name> <value>1</value> </systemProperty> ... </systemProperties> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </project>
