There are pre and post goals. If you wish for a goal to execute before
java:jar say, then you would specify a pregoal like the following:
<preGoal name="java:jar">
...
do this before the goal java:jar is executed
...
</preGoal>
You can also do the same with postGoals.

Can you explain what you're trying to do? The dependencies listed in the
project.xml file are available as ${maven.dependendency.classpath} which
is a path references. Look at the java:jar goal to see how it is used.
You can also retrieve a single path for a dependency by using something
like:
${project.getDependencyPath("dom4j")}
