I have tracked my problem down a bit further...the second lifecycle starts sometime around the package phase in the lifecycle. I think it may have something to do with the fact that during the validate phase, I unpack parent WAR on my own using the dependency-maven-plugin so that I can extract the web.xml file and merge it with the new one (I am using xdoclet). Does the war plugin just call on dependency-maven-plugin too to do the war overlap? If so, perhaps that is what is triggering the 2nd lifecycle run from validate? Or is it something else? How do I make it stop happening?!?! A quote from "Better Builds with Maven", Section 5.3.1: "In good mojo design, determining when not to execute, is often as important as the modifications made during execution itself."

Any help is appreciated.

Try mvn help:effective-pom in your top-level project to see what
plugins map where with what configurations etc. Perhaps that will help
you figure out what's going on.
