maven exclude plugin defined in parent pom

I have a parent pom with a few plugins. In my child pom, I want to exclude one plugin.

How can I do this?

Solution

  • You can declare all the plugins in your parent pom within <pluginManagement>. In each child, you can declare the plugins which are used by that child. This way, you can include or exclude plugins as appropriate.
