Hello, I've created a plugin that I'm using to create "installer" type artifacts. That is, <packaging>installer</packaging> in POM's will use my plugin's defined lifecycle mapping to build the desired artifact.
Now, I'm trying to get the builder to do some work "just before" the package phase. I've tried adding: <prepare-package>org.apache.maven.plugin:somePlugin:someGoal</prepare-package> to the <phases /> element inside the component descriptor that sets my plugin's LifecycleMapping, but it's still never running the <prepare-package> phase. In the debugger, it appears that the DefaultLifecycleExecutor's pre-populated lifecycles, in particular the <id>default</id> lifecycle, lacks this phase. How can I modify the build lifecycle to do work "just before" the package phase? Of course, everything works when I bind the desired goal to the <test/> phase, but the goal I'm binding has nothing to do with testing: that workaround is a kludge. Can anybody explain how I can modify the lifecycle to add a "custom" lifecycle phase? My <packaging /> is only binding a few lifecycle phases as it is, but none of the existing (default lifecycle) phase names means the same thing as what I want done.
