The war doesn't use the dependency plugin (btw you should update to maven-dependency-plugin 2.0-alpha-x since it supereceeds the old mojo one). Do you have assembly:assemble bound to a phase? That forks the entire build and could cause what you see. Pasting your pom would help too.

I think it may have something to do with the fact that during the validate phase, I unpack parent WAR on my own using the dependency-maven-plugin so that I can extract the web.xml file and merge it with the new one (I am using xdoclet). Does the war plugin just call on dependency-maven-plugin too to do the war overlap? If so, perhaps that is what is triggering the 2nd lifecycle run from validate? Or is it something else? How do I make it stop happening?!?! A quote from "Better Builds with Maven", Section 5.3.1: "In good mojo design, determining when not to execute, is often as important as the modifications made during execution itself."
