You are doing it wrong. Maven has no targets like ant has. Maven has

a phase is executed.
Well, without profiles, I don't know how to do it right. For example,
I use the AntRun plugin to invoke install4j, which builds installers
for my artifact. Binding this to the deploy phase probably makes the
most sense, but if I do that, the deploy goal of the deploy plugin
also runs. There's no way to tell Maven to just run the install4j stuff.
If, however, I split off the install4j stuff into an "install4j"
profile and bind it to the package phase, then I can do:
mvn -Pinstall4j package
And suddenly Maven does exactly what I want: It runs install4j and
nothing else. Without profiles, how can I accomplish this?
