Plugin management in maven

Can you please suggest how to do plugin management in maven. I have to call the below code

           <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.8</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>generate-sources</id>
                        <phase>generate-sources</phase>
                        <configuration>
                            <target>
                                <ant antfile="${basedir}/build/build.xml">
                                    <target name="${ant.mode}" />
                                </ant>
                            </target>
                        </configuration>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>run</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

In some of the  the submodule in a multi maven project module.
Can you suggest how to integrate this in only selective maven profiles?
Any Help will be appreciated .

Can some one suggest any solution for plugin management

Solution

  • You put the configuration into the parent into pluginManagement.

    Either you specify the plugin (without configuration) in each module where you need it, or you use the skip parameter to activate/deactivate the plugin.
