How to avoid the generation of default jar when specifying a final name?

Question

We are using maven profile to build a jar specific to tomcat.

<profile>
    <id>TOMCAT</id>
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>default-jar</id>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>jar</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <finalName>${project.artifactId}-tomcat-${project.version}</finalName>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build> 
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.activemq</groupId>
            <artifactId>activemq-core</artifactId>
            <version>5.7.0</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId>
            <artifactId>geronimo-j2ee-management_1.1_spec</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.1</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jboss.javaee</groupId>
            <artifactId>jboss-jms-api</artifactId>
            <version>1.1.0.GA</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</profile>

My expectation is to create a single jar with name acme-tomcat-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar but on building the project, maven is generating another one (a default one) acme-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar. How can we avoid the generation of the second one (acme-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar)?

Thanks

By changing the build section in the profile section from

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>default-jar</id>
                    <phase>package</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>jar</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <finalName>${project.artifactId}-tomcat-${project.version}</finalName>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

to

<build>
     <finalName>${project.artifactId}-tomcat-${project.version}</finalName>
</build>
