Hello Gerrit,
the 'install-file' Mojo does not support the skip parameter, only 'install' does. What is your goal? Replacing the primary JAR artifact?

A moment ago I came across the following behaviour of the maven-install-plugin (v2.5.2): If I define the following: <executions> <execution> <id>default-install</id> <phase>install</phase> <goals> <goals>install</goal> </goals> <configuration> <skip>true</skip> </configuration> </execution> </executions> the default jar and pom files of that Maven build are not installed. But if I defined an extra artifact and want to skip it (like this): <executions> <execution> <id>install-something</id> <phase>install</phase> <goals> <goal>install-file</goal> </goals> <configuration> <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId> <artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId> <version>${project.version}</version> <packaging>jar</packaging> <generatePom>false</generatePom> <file>${path-of-extra-jar-file}</file> <skip>true</skip> </configuration> </execution> </executions> the installation of that artifact is performed. Somehow I don't get it. Why can I skip the installation in that first case, but not in that second case? Regards, Gerrit
