Thanks for the reply. I can't say I fully understand why it's needed from
within maven.xml and not from the command line, unless settings passed from
the command line are "wrapped up" and fed into maven's plugins.
I read through the wiki, and tried to get it to work with the following
block, but it's still not set correctly. Do I need to use a specific jelly
tag to execute it?
<goal name="all:install">
${pom.getPluginContext("maven-test-plugin").setVariable("maven.test.skip",
"true")}
<attainGoal name="multiproject:install-snapshot" />
</goal>
