I think there are some little inconsistencies in vocabulary, causing wrong analysis
there are 3 lifecycles: default, clean and site [1] and packaging selects default plugin bindings for default lifecycle [2] For the moment, I didn't dig sufficiently into everything to have every answers and really do what I will explain, but IIUC, if you define a new phase in a new lifecycle, you should be able to inject a new lifecycle completely independent from packaging then plugin bindings can either be defined in the lifecycle, like it is done in site and clean lifecycles, or by packaging, like it is done with default lifecycle this analysis is for the moment theoretical, based on conclusion I made while documenting lifecycles and plugin bindigs, but seems rather logical (and contrary to what we understand from historical ways of taliking of lifecycle when we talk about default plugin bindings, probably because clean and site lifecycles come directly with their plugin bindings) Regards, Hervé [1] http://maven.apache.org/ref/3-LATEST/maven-core/lifecycles.html [2] http://maven.apache.org/ref/3-LATEST/maven-core/default-bindings.html Le samedi 6 juillet 2013 15:46:24 Barrie Treloar a écrit : > On 6 July 2013 15:39, Mirko Friedenhagen <mfriedenha...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello there, > > > > is there a way to switch to a different lifecycle depending on e.g. a > > path/file etc?
