For example: clean test (this will run the Maven goal 'clean' followed by the Maven goal 'test'). You can also use '-D' to define one or more JVM parameters, e.g.: -Djava.awt.headless=true (this will pass the parameter 'java.awt.headless' with a value of 'true'). You can also include variables (see Using Global or Build-specific Variables).
    • 'Build JDK' — Choose a JDK from the list. The JDK that you select will become one of the plan's capability requirements. For details please see Specifying a Plan's Capability Requirements.
