How to override install4j internal compiler variables with maven-plugin?

Question

Is it possible to override the standard compiler variables like fullName and shortName within the sonatype-maven-plugin or commandline? The release tag matches for the version tag and we tried to define the fullName within the variables configuration of the plugin. This has no effect therefore the question whether it is possible or not.

Answer 1

In your project, set the full name to a compiler variable like ${compiler:myFullName}. You can then override the compiler variable myFullName which will set the system variable.
