Ignore errors from Maven plugin

[David Carew <dc...@gmail.com>]

I'm not that familiar with Maven (so  this might be a general question)  but
I'm trying to build and deploy my project using the Geronimo Maven plugin
(for the deployment part). I'm running these commands:  stop, undeploy,
distribute, start  (in that order).  Before my project is initially
deployed,  stop will  cause errors  and Maven terminates.  Is there a way to
configure Maven to ignore the errors from stop and undeploy  so that I don't
have to find another way to deploy the very first time ?

Not that I know of.  I suggest you use more goals: one to distribute  
+ start, one to stop + undeploy, and possibly a combination goal. I  
suppose we could add a flag to prevent maven errors if the stop/ 
undeploy don't have a target...
