Hi,
I have a Maven2 project with multi-modules. I have to pass some command line
parameters so that it builds correctly (currently it is -Dmaven.test.skip=true
;o) ) but I will also have to pass some profile configuration.
If I configure my project using " Build a free-style software project" all is
fine and running smoothly :o)
Now if I try "Build a maven2 project (alpha)" it can't build :o(. When I
configured it I set "clean install -Dmaven.skip.test=true" in the goals field
(http://myserver/hudson/job/myproject/configure). It fails quite immediately
when I try to build it with this exception :

nvalid task '-Dmaven.skip.test=true': you must specify a valid lifecycle phase,
or a goal in the format plugin:goal or
pluginGroupId:pluginArtifactId:pluginVersion:goal
org.apache.maven.BuildFailureException: Invalid task '-Dmaven.skip.test=true':

so it looks like "-Dmaven.skip.test=true" is the issue. I think that this
element should be in the properties parameter when creating the MavenSession. So
there maybe a properties field missing or the parsing of the goals field should
be improved.
