HI all,
I've using the combination of maven-assembly-plugin and
maven-dependency-plugin to generate the binary distribution. The
pom.xmlcontaining these plugins has the "packaging" as "pom". This
maven module
listed as the last of modules needed for the reactor.
maven-assembly-pluging runs on phase "package" and maven-dependency-plugin
runs on "initialize" phase.
problem : when ever this module runs, whole of the project builds again. Ie.
compiling and running test cases happen twice.
Why this happens. Is this due to the <phase>initialize</phase> I'm using. Or
is there any other know issue.
Thank you
maven-assembly-plugin has a config as follows,
...

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
