How to change the invoked goals at runtime

[Daniel Beland]

Hi,


I am trying to migrate our projects to maven 2.0.5 (have been using maven 1
for 2 years now).

I would like to know how I can invoke maven to package the artifact only
when the version does not contain SNAPSHOT, and install it if it contains
SNAPSHOT.
In maven 1 I was using a goal like this:

   <goal name="jar:cruisecontrol">
       <j:if test="${not(pom.currentVersion.endsWith('SNAPSHOT'))}">
           <ant:echo message="Create jar only"/>
           <attainGoal name="jar"/>
       </j:if>

       <j:if test="${pom.currentVersion.endsWith('SNAPSHOT')}">
           <ant:echo message="Install SNAPSHOT jar"/>
           <attainGoal name="jar:install"/>
       </j:if>
   </goal>


This is because I do not want cruise control to install an artifact if it is
not a SNAPSHOT. (Released version should always be downloaded from our
central repository).
It happened too many times that developers forget to change the version to
SNAPSHOT after a release, and we overwrite the local artifact and break the
build of other modules.


Profiles cannot be called based on ${pom.version} ending with SNAPSHOT.
I checked the plugin development, but I didn't find how we can alter the
goals from a plugin.


Someone has an idea how I can attain this?

Thanks,
Daniel
