I think you have the right approach, but there are two missing bits: - make sure the assembly plugin doesn't "attach" its result. - make sure the last step does attach its result.
An attached file is one that maven considers an artifact and will upload when you run install/deploy/etc. By default, the assembly plugin tells maven that its outputs are attached. Probably if you read the assembly documentation you can turn this off. The last step of your build should attach the final artifact. I guess preverification doesn't actually produce a new jar, so the final artifact would be the result of obfuscating? There is no way in the pom to attach an artifact; it requires plugin code. An obfuscator plugin should know how to do this, unless you're just running some command line tool or an ant task. I've been meaning to write a plugin that just attaches things, but I haven't even started yet. Maybe you'd like to do it? :-) It would be very simple, and I think a lot of people would find it useful. If maven supports it, maybe it should also have an unattach feature.
