I agree that John's solution is more how Maven is expecting you to do things in this case. But it is also more verbose in the submodules and it forces you to repeat yourself (I really like the DRY principle), since you basically have to redefine rules.
For me it depends how much you want to manage/maintain centrally (in a root parent or so) and how much you want override or redefine in the submodules. Sure, if the rule config is simple, redefinition won't hurt much but if you have complex stuff, it can become painful to have those configs scattered over multiple modules. Just my 2 cents. PS: Haven't checked, but theoretically you should also be able to prepare all executions in pluginManagement, but set each phase to none. Then in each concrete build plugins section you should then be able to bind the executions you want/need to the right phase. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
