What you're seeing there is which plugin with which goal to run. As far as I know there is no plugin which creates such ".spring" files. Are they any special files?
One solution I see is to specify the assembly plugin there and provide a default configuration in your company's parent pom. (Sort like Maven does, the default configuration in the super pom) If it involves something more then just assembling some files I think you need to create your own plugin. Could you please inform us a little more about those ".spring" files? What are they? How should they be created? What do they contain? With regards, Nick Stolwijk ~Java Developer~ Iprofs BV.

I have tried to specify org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jar-plugin:spring but of course an 'plugin does not exist' error is then generated. How do I specify this in the document?
