title: Set JMeter properties using Maven plugin
body: <p>I am using the Maven plugin for JMeter (http://jmeter.lazerycode.com/).</p>
  
  <p>In my JMeter test plan I have defined various properties e.g. hostName, threadCount etc.</p>
  
  <p>If I were to use the standard JMeter program from the command line I would specify the properties like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>jmeter -n -t mytest.jmx -JhostName=www.example.com -JthreadCount=5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As the Maven JMeter plugin is executed via the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn verify
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I pass the property values? The command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn verify -JhostName=www.example.com -JthreadCount=5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does not seem to work. I must be missing something obvious</p>
