Running a plugin only for the submodules.

[Petar Tahchiev <pa...@gmail.com>]

Hello gyus,

this time a very simple question: Is there a way to execute a plugin only
for the submodules you have and not for the present pom.xml. For instance: I
have a parent pom.xml which has several modules. Each of the modules makes
an assembly so I place the common code:

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <descriptor>src/assemble/main.xml</descriptor>
                </configuration>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>single</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>


in their parent pom.xml. The problem is that maven tries to make an assembly
in the parent pom.xml, and since I don't have an assembly descriptor in the
parent pom's directory it fails. What I want is to place that snippet of
code in the parent pom, but execute it over the module files only.

Thanks to anyone that helps.

I would try adding the xml fragment to a profile in your parent pom and then
activate the profile only in the sub modules.  The activation could even be
controlled by the presence of a java property that is defined when maven is
invoked.
