This annotation just allows you to skip the <phase> declaration when you add the execution to your pom.
If you want to skip the <execution> block, you'll need to create a custom packaging [1]. Then you'd specify <packaging>my-packaging</packaging> in your pom, instead of <packaging>jar</packaging> (or any other value you currently use) Cheers, Vincent [1] http://blog.sonatype.com/2009/08/create-a-customized-build-process-in-maven/#.VXXWhUZ5zaU Vincent 2015-06-08 19:21 GMT+02:00 Behrooz Nobakht <nob...@gmail.com>: > Let me continue with another question.
