Add a skip attribute to the plugin, similar to inherited to allow for a plugin
to be skipped for a particular child project if that plugin is inherited

Key: MNG-3102
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3102
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Plugins and Lifecycle
Reporter: Tomislav Stojcevich
Priority: Minor
There are times where it is convenient to define a plugin for all child
projects except for a few. Adding a skip attribute at the plugin definition
level (similar to inherited) would allow for the addition/configuration of a
plugin in a parent pom that would be inherited to all children. For the few
children where that plugin either doesn't make sense or causes needless
executions or errors, this would allow for it to be skipped.
There are a few plugins that already include skip as a configuration option.
Adding it at the higher level, making it available to all plugins would allow
any plugin to make use of it and not have to define it's own skip configuration
parameter.
