Is there a way to run a program (a trigger) before packaging a program?

[JavaGeek <no...@boscarine.com>]

Hello All,
I wrote a maven plugin.  I want to run a program that writes a file in the
plugin's source code before the plugin is packaged.

How can I do that?

Thanks,
Steven

... before the *project* is packaged, I assume?

Make your plugin execute in a phase that precedes the 'package' phase.
 The 'generate-sources' phase sounds like it would be appropriate.

If you did mean before packaging the plugin, then recurse. :)  Write a
plugin that runs this program, (or just use the exec plugin) and
execute it in a phase that precedes...
