No, in the book they always pass the exec arguments on the command
line. See:
http://books.sonatype.com/maven-book/reference/customizing.html#section-custom-exec
But you still would have to bind it to a phase, which you don't want
to do.
I'm not trying to avoid anything. If binding to a phase would solve
the problems, then I'd do it. But simply binding a plugin to a phase
is not enough, for reasons I have shown.
So I agree with you that Maven is definitely heavy weight if all
you wish to do is execute an exe with different parameters each time.
It doesn't do this nicely. You probably just want a simple script for
that.
Or I could just use profiles.
