Doesn't this fit your needs?

No, it doesn't fit my needs because it always prints both "hello" and  
"goodbye". I want to print either "hello" or "goodbye".

For example, in the scenario I mentioned earlier, I want to launch a  
desktop application with one particular command-line configuration.  
With your solution, I'd be launching the app multiple times. That's  
certainly not what I want.

I've attached a rewrite of your code that uses profiles to select  
which configuration is run. For instance:

mvn -Phello clean
mvn -Pgoodbye clean

Or I can do both at once:

mvn -Phello,goodbye clean

Is there a way to accomplish this without profiles?
