Delany commented on MNG-7691: ----------------------------- https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-251 Although I don't need this personally, I don't buy Robert's paternalistic arguments against skip properties. The question should rather be: where has anyone ever complained about the existence of a skip property? Adding a command line switch and removing inadvertently added switches is trivial. If I'm so concerned about the inefficiencies they introduce I'll refactor the poms as a more permanent solution. Functionality first, efficiency later. > Provide a generic way to skip Maven Goals for a specified plugin > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-7691 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7691 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Plugins and Lifecycle > Reporter: Jimisola Laursen > Priority: Major > > From ([Baeldung|https://www.baeldung.com/maven-disable-parent-pom-plugin]: > "Many plugins feature a skip parameter. We can use the skip parameter to > disable the plugin. Support for the skip parameter should be the first thing > we check because it is the simplest solution and the most conventional.". > I was thinking that there should be a generic way to skip maven plugin goals > in the core of Maven, i.e. it should not have to be implemented in each > plugin. > Would something like this work? > -Dmaven.skip.goals=groupID:artifactId:goal (is there a need to specify > version?) > E.g. > -Dmaven.skip.goals=io.spring.javaformat:spring-javaformat-maven-plugin:apply > -Dmaven.skip.goals=io.spring.javaformat:spring-javaformat-maven-plugin:apply+validate > -Dmaven.skip.goals=io.spring.javaformat:spring-javaformat-maven-plugin:apply+validate,org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-enforcer-plugin:enforce -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
