How to Invoke different goals of 1 plugin
Hi,
We would like to invoke different goals on 1 plugin.
>From reading the documentation, it seems that the best way to achieve this
is to setup a profile and specify the same plugin but with a different goal.
Here is the 1st time that the plugin is defined in the pom.xml. Take note of
the goal in this scenario 'check' (This should execute by default)
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
And now for the profile, the goal in this case is 'pmd' :
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>sonar</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>pmd</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
</profiles>
(Side note : We have to execute it during the generate-sources phase as we
have other plugins that alters the source and any other phase is too late
for this plugin in our environment)
However, this approach seems to ONLY be valid for the top level. Once it
decends into the child projects, then it seems to merge the goals, 'check'
first & 'pmd' thereafter (which doesn't seem to work correctly - see
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4022). The documentation does mention
that stuff will be merged but it fails to mention a.) is it possible to get
around it? and b.) if it is possible, how would one go about it.
We had a look into execution id's as well, but it seems that they are only
bound to a lifecycle and cannot be used in our scenario.
Any help would be much appreciated,

We still want the plugin to be inherited by the child projects.
But thanks for the clarification on the syntax.

You don't
It will run all the executions that are bound to the lifecycle automatically
If you want something different, use ANT, or hack away using profiles and
activation rules and then spend ages explainging to people why even though
you have used a build tool which has a standard lifecycle, you are ignoring
that and ending up back in the "what ant task do I run to do ___" mire

Yup, we tried that.
Example :
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>pmd-default</id>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>pmd-sonar</id>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>pmd</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
2 issues with that approach:
1. How do we tell maven which execution we want to run?
2. From what we understand you cannot just say <inherited>false</inherited>
in the child pom.xml, you would have to do something like,
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
<inherited>false</inherited>
</plugin>
However, we still want our plugin to run in our child projects, just run
against a different goal based on question 1

give each execution a different <id>
and if you don;t want something inherited by child projects, set
<inherited>false
