[m2]Execute target on child, but not parent?

[Matt McGill <ma...@gmail.com>]

I have a multi-module project, and for various reasons only want to  
execute maven on the parent pom. However, I have a plugin that only  
makes sense to configure/execute on some of the child modules. The  
plugin target I want to execute shouldn't really be attached to a  
phase in the build lifecycle, but I can't think of a way to configure  
my project such that executing mvn plugin:target on the parent pom  
will result in the plugin target being executed on only those child  
modules for which the plugin is configured. Is there any way to pull  
this off (by explicitly disabling the plugin in the parent and  
children for which is should not run, for instance)?

Thanks,
-Matt

Hi Matt,

Try to individually declare and configure the plugin only in the modules 
that needs it and don't declare it in your parent POM.

John
