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.
