title: Override Maven plugin configuration defined in the pom pluginManagement from the command line
body: <p>The POM that my project inherits contains some <code>&lt;pluginManagement&gt;</code> for the <code>release</code> plugin that specifies some additional <code>arguments</code>.</p>
  
  <p><strong>My question is:</strong> Is there a way to override the <code>arguments</code> parameter from the command line in this case?</p>
  
  <p>The parent POM has this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;pluginManagement&gt;
      &lt;plugin&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-release-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;configuration&gt;
              &lt;arguments&gt;-Prelease&lt;/arguments&gt;
          &lt;/configuration&gt;
      &lt;/plugin&gt;
  &lt;/pluginManagement&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Due to that the command line argument doesn't work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn release:prepare -Darguments="-Pmock -Prelease"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The <code>-Darguments="-Pmock -Prelease"</code> part has no effect. When <code>arguments</code> is not already specified, it works.</p>
  
  <p>It is not possible for me to modify the parent POM or not to use it.</p>
