I need to modify the maven build for a large project
to skip certain steps during typical development builds (i.e. don't
build the *-source.jar files). I've searched for "conditional
execution" for maven, but haven't found anything.
A dev profile sounds like the intuitive way to do this - but I don't
know how intuitive maven is. The docs for profiles show how to set
different properties (i.e. database connection parameters) for different
profiles. I suppose I could set a property and then test if that
property is set in the maven-source-plugin - executions - execution tag.
Is this the right way to do conditional execution in maven?
What's the "right" way to do this in maven?
Thanks.
