I doubt that this plugin is not executed when you perform a "mvn install" if it executes for "mvn initialize". If it would be the case, it's a bug in Maven core.
If you're using Maven 3, the console output will very clearly state the plugins being executed. Could you execute "mvn install" and ensure the plugin is not being executed. Compare to the output of "mvn initialize". If you still think something is wrong, we need a test case to try to reproduce. /Anders On Thu, Feb 28, 2013 at 3:47 PM, Macbeth, Andrew (US SSA) < andrew.macb...@baesystems.com> wrote: > I am attempting to configure maven-install-plugin:install-file in my > pom.xml.
