install4j 5.1.5 - Signing: disable at command line or maven plugin not possible

Question

Today I integrated the signing process to our project. It works fine. Now I tried to disable the signing process at the maven-plugin:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.sonatype.install4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>install4j-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.5</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>build-installer</id>
            <phase>prepare-package</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>compile</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <projectFile>${project.build.outputDirectory}/${install4j.projectFile}</projectFile>
                <destination>${project.build.directory}/installer</destination>
                <disableSigning>${disableSigning}</disableSigning>
                <!-- password for keystore has to be set as system property -->
                <winKeystorePassword>${certificate.keystore.psw}</winKeystorePassword>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Then I was calling our maven build with the following command:

mvn clean prepare-package -DdisableSigning=true

and got the following error message:

[INFO] --- install4j-maven-plugin:1.0.5:compile (build-installer) @ ForumViewerInstaller ---
[INFO] install4j: Unknown option '--disable-signing'
[INFO] Usage: install4jc [OPTIONS] [config file]
[INFO] Try 'install4jc --help for more information'

It looks like the maven-plugin is not compatible with install4j 5 anymore, is it? Or could it be a problem with my install4j configuration?

Thanks for any solution

This is a bug that will be fixed in install4j 5.1.11. Currently only the short form -u works.
