### rebuild arguments
A rebuilder does not need to execute integration tests or even unit tests, may even skip compiling unit tests.
Classical arguments contain following patterns:
-`package` phase: no need to `deploy` or even `install`
-`-Dmaven.test.skip`: avoid running tests and even compiling tests
-`-DskipTests`: avoid running tests, but still builds (necessary for some projects)
-`-Dgpg.skip`: avoid pgp signing
-`-Papache-release` or any release profile: activate release-specific tasks used by `maven-release-plugin`
