RE: Pom user-configured goal+phase aliases

[Brian E. Fox]

To me, it seems to detract from the intent of having a well known set of
phases so once you know maven, you can pick up any maven build. It reeks
of scripting...

Subject: Pom user-configured goal+phase aliases

Just had a thought, would be nice if the pom exposed someway to define  
aliases for a set of goals/phases.

This would allow project specific names to be used to invoke a set of  
standard maven phases or a set of plugins.

Like I might want o have a "release" alias, which actually invokes:

     mvn clean release:prepare release:preform

Or a "rebuild" alias which actually invokes:

     mvn clean install

With pom configuration something like:

----8<----
<project>
     <build>
         <goalAliases>
             <goalAlias>
                 <name>rebuild</name>
                 <goals>
                     <goal>clean</goal>
                     <goal>install</goal>
                 </goals>
             </goalAlias>
         </goalAliases>
     </build>
</project>

Just a thought...
