preGoal called before several goals - possible and how?

Hi Maveners,

I need to call a preGoal in my maven.xml before two other goals. Is this 
possible? I tried whitespace and comma separated lists, like this

<preGoal name="war:init site:deploy">
...

<preGoal name="war:init, site:deploy">
...

but both didn't work.

As a workaround, I've put the piece of code I need twice in an XML 
entity but I'd rather like to avoid that.

Any hint would be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Gisbert Amm

That's it, of course. Stupid me. Thank you very much.

You can either:

- find a common goal that both war:init and site:deploy depend on and
preGoal that;
- split your preGoal content into 2 parts, one for site:deploy and one for
war:init (they seem to be the same? what's in it?)
- create your own goals:

	<goal name="init">
		<!-- put your preGoal contents here -->
	</goal>

	<goal name="war" prereqs="init">
		<attainGoal name="war:war"/>
	</goal>

	<goal name="sitedeploy" prereqs="init">
		...
	</goal>

- place the preGoal code in a goal and attain that (preferred solution I
think)

	<goal name="init">
		<!--pregoal stuff-->
	</goal>

	<preGoal name="war:init">
		<attainGoal name="init"/>
	</preGoal>

	<preGoal name="site:deploy">
		<attainGoal name="init"/>
	</preGoal>
