Specifying a dependent goal for exec goals

[Trevor Harmon <th...@perronerobotics.com>]

Consider these commands:

mvn clean
mvn exec:java

The second line fails because the classes aren't there. it needs to be:

mvn clean
mvn install
mvn exec:java

Is there some way of having Maven run the install goal automatically?  
That is, I want to specify that the install goal must always run  
before exec:java does. I tried using the <phase> parameter but had no  
success.

The only way is to go the other way around, ie to bind exec:java to
the install phase. Then run "mvn install"

If you don't always want to run that command, you could put it in a
profile so it would be "mvn -PexecPurpose install"
