Hello Sebb,
mvn help:describe -Dplugin=org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin -Ddetail=true
will show you the goals and their options.
For the command line parameter version of the options refer to e.g.:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html#skip
There you see, that <skip> translates to maven.test.skip on the command line.
Regards
Mirko

Yup, and you can use an abbreviated version too:
mvn help:describe -Dplugin=surefire -Ddetail=true
