How do I use maven-exec-plugin if I need to run more than one job, possibly
at different points during the build process?

According to the maven documentation, <configuration> can be included inside
<execution>, but I cannot figure out how to make it work.

Thanks,

well this is really pretty straight forward (that is when one first has learned it) just having multiple executions of a plugin. but one thing is vitally important, and that is to give the two executions different id.. also use must use <phase> in the execution to bind it to a particular build phase. within a phase plugin executions are in no particular order
see this example I prepared for usage :
<build>
          <plugins>
              <plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>exec-one</id>
                        <phase>verify</phase>
                        <configuration>
                            <executable>echo</executable>
                            <arguments>
                                <argument>exec one</argument>
                            </arguments>
                        </configuration>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>exec</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                    <execution>
                        <id>exec-two</id>
                        <phase>verify</phase>
                        <configuration>
                            <executable>echo</executable>
                            <arguments>
                                <argument>exec two</argument>
                            </arguments>
                        </configuration>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>exec</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
               </executions>
           </plugin>
          </plugins>
  </build>
