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.
