Hi, A correct link to the invoker plugin home page: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-invoker-plugin/
Invoker is a specialised plugin that binds itself to integration test phases in Maven lifecycle. It creates a sandbox Maven environment (complete with a sandboxed local repository), where you can install test artifacts, invoke Maven executions and use Groovy scripts to verify the output. Because it is a sandbox, it does not spoil your local repository, and it sits inside project target directory, which can be cleared out at any time for a clean run. A separate profile is used mainly for performance reasons, because it may take quite a few minutes to go through a reasonably large suite of Invoker integration tests. The run-its profile is always auto-activated during plugin release though. Kind regards, -- Sergei Ivanov Среда, 22 января 2014, 7:03 +08:00 от "B. K.
