Option not to run install phase during realease:prepare
-------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MNG-1713
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1713
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: Wish
  Components: maven-release-plugin  
    Versions: 2.0    
 Environment: xp,clearcase,starteam
    Reporter: Dan Tran
     Fix For: 2.0.1


I have a build environments where daily release build is required and the build 
is long ( 1 - 2 hours is the norm).

By using the current release plugin, the prepare step forces the install phase, 
we end up to do the build at both
prepare and perform steps and therefore the build time is double.

I would like to propose that maven-release-plugin allows an option not to 
invoke the install phase. Here are my
thoughts on this.

   - Fail daily build is a norm, however failure is selfdom now with the help 
of contiguous integration (ie Continuum).
     
   - Since the build is long, passing the prepare phase, does not mean it will 
pass at perform phase since user
     can checkin changes at the build phase in prepare step. 

Thoughts?

Would binding preprare mojo to initialize phase is good enought? how can we 
optionally change the execute phase
at run time?
