I just realized that i have to put in a phase 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..
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
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

(say, the initialize phase), then you can invoke it
