Which phase does a plugin's goal execute ?

["Balasubramanian, Ravi Shankar" <rb...@informatica.com>]

Hi all,

I am executing a plugin's goal directly through the maven command. It is
executed as follows:

 

mvn clover2:setup ( which executes the setup goal of the clover2 plugin)


 

However, I want another plugin's goal to be executed before the
clover2:setup goal is executed which I have to mention in the pom.xml.
Is there a way to find out which phase does the plugin's goal actually
executes when we call it directly ? 

 

Tx, 

Ravi

As far as I understand it, when you invoke a plugin directly, there is no
phase per se -- you're just invoking a plugin.  You could invoke two plugins
(mvn clover2:setup jetty:run), or create a profile where you bind each
plugin two phases in sequence, but you can't bind one plugin to another's
invocation.

Check the site for the plugin. The plugin author can tell maven to
execute up to a certain phase in the annotations - and this will be
reflected on the plugin's goal page for that goal.
