If you put it directly in the pom, then you could call "mvn
plugin-name:goal" and it would execute the plugin directly. It should
probably work with profiles as well.
But really, there is nothing stopping you from just having a build.xml
file next to your pom.xml file and then calling ant directly
Thanks for the follow-up Steve, I am still hoping that someone has a
solution to what I want to achieve but at the same time I think what you
have suggested is certainly a good simulation for the same…now am still
trying to configure the pom as you suggested (as below) so that I can
activate/invoke
I just realized that i have to put in a "" tag in order to make it
work, i thought we can still skip it, since we were specifying it anyways on
invoking it from the command line, though am still trying to figure out a
way i can just invoke a plugin-in/goal that is declared/configured in a
pom..

Hi Farhan,
I don't know how to do exactly what you want, but you can do something
close with a profile.
If you put the antrun execution (or any other execution) in a profile
with no explicit activation spec, and bind it to a really early phase
(say, the "initialize" phase), then you can invoke it
Hi All,
Is there a way I can invoke a plug-in/goal (not linked with any phase)
configured in a project's pom.xml (within an execution tag) from the command
line directly, also the idea is to invoke the goal irrespective of the maven
build cycle.
To be more precise let's say if I have a maven-
