Maven 2 & 3

Add a skip attribute to the plugin, similar to inherited to allow for a plugin to be skipped for a particular child project if that plugin is inherited

Description

There are times where it is convenient to define a plugin for all child projects except for a few. Adding a skip attribute at the plugin definition level (similar to inherited) would allow for the addition/configuration of a plugin in a parent pom that would be inherited to all children. For the few children where that plugin either doesn't make sense or causes needless executions or errors, this would allow for it to be skipped.

There are a few plugins that already include skip as a configuration option. Adding it at the higher level, making it available to all plugins would allow any plugin to make use of it and not have to define it's own skip configuration parameter.

This is a real problem for a lot of people. I've modified a lot of plugins and deployed them locally to allow for skipping.

I'd be more than happy to do this, but I don't even know where to start.

John Casey has developed some proposals about Lifecylce and Plugin Handling that might be of interest.

I can't believe this is set to minor - the lack of functionality to unbind / skip a plugin seems to be discussed a lot in forums and mailing lists about maven. Especially if you want to use legacy ant build scripts (or have to customize your build a lot), this is a really important issue that would make a lot of things much easier.

Would be great to have such a feature. It will remove a lot of similar code from many plugins.

Attaching the patches that implement this feature. This feature has been implemented as part of the related issue, MNG-3321 and so the patch file names are the way they are.
