**[Julio Palma Vázquez](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=restalion)** opened **[MWAR-310](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-310?redirect=false)** and commented Sometimes I need to skip the overlay plugin execution but I don't want to change all my (about one hundred) pom.xml files. I've done this modifing Overlay.java class as below: private boolean skip = true; But I think you could find a more elegant solution such as adding a parameter: import org.apache.maven.plugins.annotations.Parameter; [...] @Parameter( property = "skipOverlays", defaultValue = "false" ) private boolean skip; I've tested this code but for some reason (yes, I know, is my fault) it doesn't work, and unfortunatelly I have no more time to spend in this task. Please, don't let my stupidity prevents you to consider this improvement.
