You cannot have that, you need to bind the goal at least (and goal usually have a "preferred" phase it will bind to). Plugin that does not have execution defined but it still executes (as you say you'd want) is usually bound to lifecycle of the packaging in it's lifecycle mapping. So, unless you write your own packaging (I doubt this is what you need), you are left to declare plugin _with_ executions.
