I would not want to modify the exec plugin itself. Why not? Checkout the source, add a parameter to its configuration and implement the feature, create a patch (with tests) and put it into a JIRA issue for the plugin. While the official release does not contain your change the version in the POM simply to something like x.y-svn-ZZZZZZ, so you know to which version in trunk you actually applied your patch, add your own distribution section and deploy the built plugin into your repo. When the official plugin contains your patch, you can simply exchange its version in the pluginMgmt section and forget about your modified one. - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
