Christoph Läubrich commented on MNG-8659:
-----------------------------------------
If the mojos share the same configuration you can simply put it outside the
execution block, then you only need to configure in the execution what deviates
from that.
> Allow maven plugins to automatically run a Mojo without an explicit execution.

> Key: MNG-8659
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8659
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Plugin API
> Reporter: Niels Basjes
> Priority: Major
>
> As discussed here
> [https://the-asf.slack.com/archives/C7Q9JB404/p1743258198334339]
> Currently an externally developed Maven plugin NEEDS an explicit execution to
> be specified by the end user. In some cases this explicit execution
> definition makes things needlessly complex.
> The idea is to allow the author of a maven plugin to specify which Mojos are
> to be run automatically if the plugin is included in a project.
> So for example something like this should automatically run a subset of the
> available Mojos during their assigned defaultPhase.
> {code:java}
> <plugin>
> <groupId>nl.basjes.maven</groupId>
> <artifactId>my-special-maven-plugin</artifactId>
> <version>1.0.0</version>
> <configuration>
> <something>foo</something>
> <somemore>bar</somemore>
> </configuration>
> </plugin> {code}
> My proposal is to add an extra optional flag (default should be false) to the
> Mojo annotation that allows the developer to automatically have the Mojo
> started.
> I propose a boolean named {{autoExecution}}
> With the meaning:
> {quote}If set to true then this Mojo will have an implied execution that will
> run the Mojo during the configured defaultPhase. This requires the
> defaultPhase to be configured!
> {quote}
> Then an author can do something like this:
> {code:java}
> @Mojo(name = "generate-main", defaultPhase = LifecyclePhase.GENERATE_SOURCES,
> threadSafe = true, autoExecution = true) {code}
>
> I think this should use the execution ids already documented as the "implied
> execution ids"
