Thanks to all. Simply knowing that this can't work will help me from beating my head against the wall trying to make it work. Very much appreciate the explanations.

Before Maven starts executing plugins against projects, Maven first has to construct the build plan. The build plan needs to take into account the inter-project dependencies, so that the projects can be built in the correct sequence. So if A -> B -> C, Maven needs to ensure that C is built before A. This is the case irrespective of whether B is part of the reactor or not... because if C is part of the reactor, then A should be using the artifacts of C that were built from the reactor. So when you have a plugin execution bound to the lifecycle, and it says "I will need the dependencies" then Maven says: oh look, there will be a plugin that needs to resolve dependencies, therefore I need to compute the dependency graph and resolve it in order to ensure that any side-effects of the dependency graph do no affect my planned build order. So when you go "mvn initialize", Maven looks at the plugins, says only one plugin execution for this lifecycle, that doesn't need the dependencies resolved, fine the build plan is not going to be affected by inter-module dependencies, lets go When you go "mvn install", Maven looks at the plugins, sees some plugins will be needing to resolve dependencies (e.g. compiler:compile, compiler:test-compile, surefire:test) and says... hmmm I had better take a look at the dependencies to see if they may impact my build plan... oh dear I cannot find this dependency anywhere... fail the build, because it's going to fail anyway and better to fail fast than waste the developers time. I hope this explains Vincent's answer better for you. -Stephen On 5 March 2013 13:06, Macbeth, Andrew (US SSA) < andrew.macb...@baesystems.com> wrote: > Anders, > I included the debug output and pom.xml's in my previous message. > Wondering if they didn't make it through to you.
