Override a phase?

[Kevin Carroll <ks...@yahoo.com>]

Is there any way to override a phase?  I am building a jar file that needs to pull in
dependencies so I have a custom ant task (classdepandjar) that does it.  The maven
lifecycle still executes the default package phase and builds the jar for the project.  I
don't need that jar and I would like to just eliminate it from being built.  

Thanks...Kevin Carroll

you can set your packaging to "pom"

Instead of "turning off" Maven's jar generation, perhaps you could use the
dependency plugin to pull in your external dependencies, and let Maven build
the jar. See:

http://mojo.codehaus.org/dependency-maven-plugin/

You can't override the phase bindings set up by your <package>
declaration. You can only add to it via <execution> tags.

However some plugins can effectively be configured as "disabled"; see
the plugin's options (eg surefire has <skip>true</skip>).

As noted by another poster, using <package>pom</package> doesn't set up
any phase bindings so you can start from scratch and define everything
you want explicitly.

Simon
