Hi Benson, By default all plugin's goal/mojo must be invoked via plugin's execution.
In each execution's configuration, you dont need to set 'phase' if your plugin's mojo already set it in the source anotation To automatically run your plugin's goal, it must be part of of maven default build cycle ( maven-compile-plugin ) is an example.) So change default lifecycle is not possible since its belongs to maven core. However, you can still create your custom lifecycle to do so. see native-maven-plugin for example if you really want to go that far :-) -Dan On Fri, Dec 25, 2009 at 8:00 AM, Benson Margulies <[email protected]> wrote: > I've tried posing this question before, but while I've elicited > follow-up questions, I've never seemed to get to the bottom of it. > > What I want is for a plugin to execute simply by being included in the > <plugins/> element of the POM, without needing to explicitly configure > an <execution/> or a <goal/>.
