Another quick questions folks.. I have got a profile (in a pom) which has a build configured for maven-ant plugin in it (as below), now my understanding of plugin/goals configured within a build is that if they are not bind to phase they would just run independent of the maven build-cycle-phases, as also stated in the maven documention (on "Guide to Configuring Plug-ins") which says " If the goal is binded to a phase then it will execute to that phase. But if the goal is not binded to any lifecycle phases then it will be executed without executing any phases(as if it was executed in the CLI)." Now what i want to achieve is to execute the goal configured in this profile from mvn command line independent of the build-cycle-phases, which i have not been able to. What i have been doing so far to activate/invoke this profile is 1) un-comment the phase tag, and 2) invoking the same by giving the phase at the command like e.g. "mvn -P myprofile initialize" (or some other phase later than the one specified in the configuration). I want to call the same thing with 1) keeping the phase tag commented 2) giving the goal name instead of phase (so that it run irrespective of phases). I hope someone can assist me with this...
