* `script` defines the global script environment of the Jenkinsfile run.
    Typically `this` is passed to this parameter. This allows the function
    to access the commonPipelineEnvironment for retrieving, for example, configuration parameters..
* `dockerImage` Name of the docker image that should be used.
* `globalSettingsFile` Path or url to the mvn settings file that should be used as global settings file. 
* `projectSettingsFile` Path or url to the mvn settings file that should be used as project settings file.
* `pomPath` Path to the pom file that should be used.
* `flags` Flags to provide when running mvn.
* `goals` Maven goals that should be executed.
* `m2Path` Path to the location of the local repository that should be used.
* `defines` Additional properties.
* `logSuccessfulMavenTransfers` configures maven to log successful downloads. This is set to `false` by default to reduce the noise in build logs.

## Step configuration
The following parameters can also be specified as step parameters using the global configuration file:

* `dockerImage`
* `globalSettingsFile`
* `projectSettingsFile`
* `pomPath`
* `m2Path`

## Exceptions

None

## Example

```groovy
