Maven2 add appassembler:assemble to package goal

Question

Is it possible to add the appassembler: assemble goal to the "package" goal?

I really just want assemble to run when I do a "mvn package"

Answer 1

cant you just add a execution tag to the appassembler plugin definition?

  <plugin>
      ....
   <executions>
      <execution>
        <id>package</id>
        <goals>
          <goal>assemble</goal>
        </goals>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>
