Christoph Kaser commented on MNG-3102:
--------------------------------------
I can't believe this is minor - the lack of functionality to unbind / skip a
plugin seems to be diescussed a lot in forums and mailing lists about maven.
Especially if you want to use legacy ant build scripts (or have to customize
your build a lot), this is a really important issue that would make a lot of
things much easier.

> 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.
