Hi all, been working with a multi-module build that has the following characteristics: - All sub-modules have the parent pom as their parent - I have Integration tests setup as their own module - parent pom has profiles for specific environments setup
In the parent pom I have the a plugin bound to the prepare-package phase and inherit marked to false (I only want the plugin to run once at the end of the build, or once before another phase starts). The behavior I am seeing though is this: - Run mvn package -D profileName - it executes my plugin at the top-level first - Then it proceeds to compile and run the tests on each of the sub-modules - It never runs my plugin again What I expected to happen: - Compile each sub-module - Run the tests on each sub-module - See the prepare-package at the root level (because it now hit that phase) - Run package on each sub-module I'm not clear as to why the build is doing all the phases within each module rather than phase-first then module. Is there an easy/clean way to do this? The solution I have come up with so far is either - turn inherit to true and it will run my plugin for each module (bad) - Move my specific phase stuff into each module that may need it for each profile (pain in the ass) Other ideas? -warner
