> Currently, there is no way to set up a plugin to run every time I invoke 
> maven on my project, regardless of whether I'm executing a stand-alone goal 
> or a lifecycle phase. For example, I have a plugin that munges some project 
> information and sets project properties based on the results. I want to use 
> these properties elsewhere in my project file. It would be nice if I could 
> set up this plugin to always be the first thing that executes when I invoke 
> maven on my project. I'm thinking something like the following:
> {noformat}
> <project>
>   <globalPlugins>
>     <plugin>
>       ...
>     </plugin>
>   </globalPlugins>
> </project>
> {noformat}
> These plugins obviously wouldn't support the phase and goal tags within 
> executions.
> Another way to accomplish this would be to recognize a special phase called 
> "global" (or something similar) that would indicate a plugin that always runs 
> first (i.e. before starting the lifecycle or executing stand-alone goals). 
> For example:
> {noformat}
> <project>
>   <plugins>
>     <plugin>
>       <groupId>foo</groupId>
>       <artifactId>bar</artifactId>
>       <executions>
>         <execution>
>           <phase>global</phase>
>           <goals>
>             <goal>baz</goal>
>           </goals>
>           <configuration>
>            ...
>           </configuration>
>         </execution>
>       </executions>
>     </plugin>
>   </plugins>
> </project>
> {noformat}
