Guess this is a regular thing with java.exe: you pass -Da=b and
get system property a equals to b. I guess Maven (or rather Jelly)
just makes system properties visible as scripting variables.

So yes, you can use not only goad but any name you like.

k> Q: only one -D per command line?  -Dgoal=1st -Dgoal=2nd

No, as much as you like.

Here I can't help, not an expert :)
