You are doing it wrong. Maven has no targets like ant has. Maven has lifecylces [0] which is built of phases (e.g. 'compile', package', 'install'). Plugins are attached to phases and are executed whenever a phase is executed. Profiles are used to configure plugins in different ways. Start reading the documentation at [1] and especially the books "Better builds with Maven" and "Maven - The Definitve Guide". Both are available online for free. Search this archive or google it. hth, - martin [0] http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html [1] http://maven.apache.org/guides/index.html
