Apologies. I was incorrect. The real issue is that I have a parent POM that contains this plugin (and the others), and even though the packaging of that parent is pom, it still seems to want to invoke the execute methods of its contained plugins.
This, of course is another issue, specifically how does one have an "abstract" parent pom. I gather, based on a Nabble search, that it involves profiles in some manner. So I'll just wait on it for now.
