Description

1. It is possible to execute a lifecycle phase
2. It is possible to execute a plugin goal (using the plugin's configuration defined at plugin level (not at execution level))
3. It is NOT possible to execute a plugin execution using its execution-id.(using the configuration on execution level)

I have several use cases in which i want to execute a plugin from the command line with different configurations. This is now not possible.other than misusing profiles for this.

This is also quite important for me. I'd like to run some specific ant plugin tasks, at least while developing the pom.
Something along the lines of the following would work well as the command line interface:

mvn group:pluginid:version:execution-id

Is there an example of how to hack it using profiles somewhere?

If it helps anyone, looks like we're just going to tie our executions to process-classes since that phase doesn't do anything else in our project. Since there's only one execution we're interested in executing in isolation, that works for now.
