I have a "root" POM which I use as the inheritance ancestor of all my
projects: https://github.com/globalmentor/globalmentor-root
By default it's configured to use the [Nexus Staging Maven
Plugin](https://github.com/sonatype/nexus-maven-plugins/blob/main/staging/maven-plugin/README.md).
It even has a handy `nexus.host` property to define the Nexus server
(because Sonatype actually puts accounts on separate old-school hosts,
but I digress).
The catch-22 here is that I need this configuration to be turned on for
me to publish this POM to Maven Central, yet there are descendant
projects that use it that I never want to publish to Maven Central. I
don't want this publishing feature turned on by default in child
projects. I would prefer to have a flag that I simply turn on in child
projects (i.e. opt-in) that are to be made public. Any way to have the
Nexus Staging Maven Plugin enabled in the POM itself for publishing to
Maven Central, but have it disabled by default for inherited problems?
I'm guessing the answer is "no", so let's instead find an easy way to
turn it off. I don't see in the documentation (see link above) that
there's even a "skip" property. Is there? I see that the Maven Deploy
Plugin has such a feature. I also see that there is a
`skipNexusStagingDeployMojo`, but that appears to be neither a
configuration property nor a user property, but only a "plugin flag"
which is "passed in from the CLI" using `-D`. Is there a "skip"
configuration property for the Nexus Staging Maven Plugin ?
Does anybody know of a better approach for easily disabling publishing
to Maven Central in an inheriting project?

P.S. I'm debating whether this question would be better published on
Stack Overflow, but in my experience it seems that the Maven experts
seem to respond here more than on Stack Overflow.
