Robert Scholte commented on MINSTALL-96:
----------------------------------------
I'm not sure if the conditional/dynamic stuff is really that weak. The
{{<inherited/>}}-tag for plugins is powerfull when you understand how to use
it. If you combine it with the [combine.*
attributes|http://blog.sonatype.com/people/2011/01/maven-how-to-merging-plugin-configuration-in-complex-projects]
inside the configuration, almost every combination is possible. But this
requires the
{{<excludesTag><excludeTag>sources</excludeTag><excludeTag>tests</excludeTag></excludesTag>}}
format, as most plugins do at both Apache Maven and Codehaus Mojo.
I don't understand the issue of not knowing classifiers beforehand. One should
know what is attachted right? It won't be a problem, if the exclude contains
classifiers, which don't exist.
> Skip option for install-file

> Key: MINSTALL-96
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MINSTALL-96
> Project: Maven Install Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: install:install-file
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Tiemo Vorschütz
> Attachments: InstallFileMojo.java.patch
>
>
> For my process it would be helpful to also introduce a skip option for
> install:install-file to be able to disable install-file creation by setting a
> pom property.
> This could be necessary if the build chain is designed by a parent pom and
> should by simply modified inside the child pom.
> In my case all plugin definitions are outsourced to the parent pom file and
> should only be set by properties by the developers to take care that
> modifications to the build chain are inherited.
> I attached a patch to enable skipping also for install-file.
