[Sorry, re-posting with correct formatting] Hi all & happy new year ! I have a question regarding plugin development.
I have made a custom plugin and would like to make it's Mojo executed once *and only once* in my whole reactor build. If I include it in my parent pom (not in pluginManagement), then by default it is executed once at the root and once in child-modules. Solutions I found out: - <inherited>false</inherited> used in plugin declaration in pom => it sorta do what I want BUT my plugin is not executed once if I invoke the maven build directly inside a child-module. - aggregator = true in the @Mojo annotation => I thought it was THE solution but I can't seem to understand what it does: despite declaring my mojo an aggregator, it is executed in all children. - http://blog.sonatype.com/2009/05/how-to-make-a-plugin-run-once-during-a-build/ => the solution given there does not really satisfies me because it means Maven WILL call my execute() method more than once, simply my plugin will bypass it except at the execution root. We can do better than that can't we ?! I really can't understand why the aggregator parameter does not work as I expected it to. Any idea ?
