How do you run a plugin the parent pom only once and have its configuration
inherited by its children. I'm using the maven-buildnumber-plugin in my
parent pom and when I run my build, this plugin gets executed on every
child pom and I end up with different buildNumber ID.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-buildnumber-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.9.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>validate</phase>
<goals>
<goal>create</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<doCheck>false</doCheck>
<doUpdate>false</doUpdate>
<format>{0,date,yyyy-MM-dd
HH:mm:ss}</format>
<items>
<item>timestamp</item>
</items>
</configuration>
</plugin>
As you can see from the output, the both the parent and child pom.xml
executes the plugin ad the buildNumber gets changed. So, basically, I
just want the plugin to run once and have the child poms inherit the
buildNumber. Is this doable? I tried using the
<inherited>false</inherited> in the parent pom, it executes the plugin
once, but the child poms do not get the buildNumber.
