Compile won't actually do anything in a pom project, but usually you have a pom project at the top of some tree and maven iterates though the modules listed in said pom project and invokes the build on those. Is that what you mean?

The only annotation that seems to do what you claim @requires-phase=compile does is @execute phase="<compile>". I am using this annotation and it seems to invoke the build lifecycle, but when running this in the master project I get the message: No goals needed for project - skipping In my opinion the lifecycle is started but no goals are configured for projects of type pom. I wonder what this means, because invoking "mvn compile" does compile the project. Does anyone have an idea?
