Executing goals without installing artifacts to local repository

Hi,

I have classic multimodule Maven2 J2EE project with following structure:

/master
     /ejb
         pom.xml
     /war
         pom.xml (depends on ejb)
     /ear
         pom.xml (depends on war and ejb)
     pom.xml

>From '/master' directory it is possible to execute 'package' goal without
deploying artifacts to local repository and ear artifact will be created.
However this can't be done from '/master/ear' because Maven fails due to
missing dependency artifacts. Is this intended behaviour?

Second problem is, that when I execute 'eclipse:eclipse' goal from
'/master' directory Maven fails in '/master/ear' module due to missing
dependencies (war, ejb).  Is it eclipse plugin bug or something else?

General question is:
Should all maven plugins support execution of goals from master pom
without installing artifacts of dependent modules to local repository?

Regards,

I can only speak to your first question -- yes this is intended
behavior. You cannot build from /master/ear without previously
installing the ejb and war artifacts.

I don't use the eclipse plugin right now.
