Maven calling maven

[da...@externe.bnpparibas.com]

Hello,

I have a project that is using maven. I cannot change this maven projects 
pom's. I need to use a tool that automatically calls maven on a project, 
but I need to execute some custom plugin's first. My idea was to make a 
maven project that would execute those plugins before calling maven on the 
other project I can't change.

Is this a crazy idea ?

yes it is a crazy idea... you might get somewher with the invoker plugin...
but realistically you may be better off with ANT, esp if somebody is tieing
your hands behind your back
