You are not specifying goal for maven build.

In your run configuration for maven build like clear, compile, install, package.

Please following below step to resolve it.

right click on your project.
click 'Run as' and select 'Maven Build'
edit Configuration window will open. write any goal but your problem specific write 'package' in Goal text box.
click on 'Run'

Make sure all the maven dependencies should be included in pom.xml.

Please refer: AWS Device Farm Setup

Then go to your project folder where your pom.xml is present and enter following command in terminal:

mvn clean package -DskipTests=true

that's it.

mvn plugin-prefix:goal or plugin-group-id:plugin-artifact-id:plugin-version:goal

The above should be available i your POM.xml file eg: 

--------------
     <groupId>com.aws.appium</groupId>
         <artifactId>appium-android-test</artifactId>
         <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

 -------------

             <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>2.6</version>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>test-jar</goal>
                            </goals>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                </plugin>

If you type in:

mvn -h

You'll get the help page for Maven printed out into the console. There you'll see it says:

usage: mvn [options] [<goal(s)>] [<phase(s)>]

So simply try this:

mvn -DskipTests package

That is, forget about the "=true" bit.

WARNING: Beware of where you copy and paste from. I copied from a Github README.md file and it lost me an hour. There are some typo's out there so subtle they can barely be seen.

This, with a minus/hyphen "-" symbol (ASCII code 45), will work:

mvn -DskipTests package

This, with a dash "–" (ASCII code 150), will not work:

mvn –DskipTests package

So if you've been pasting into the command line and you keep getting the Unknown lifecycle phase "–DskipTests" error regardless of what you try, just type it in to make sure you use the minus/hyphen character.
