Multiproject currently allows exclusion of projects via maven.multiproject.excludes, but this approach requires constant upkeep of the multiproject parent. I'd like to be able to specify a property that would tell multiproject to ignore a given project. This brings the responsibility of whether or not multiproject should process a project down to the project level.

Perhaps maven.multiproject.type could accept a "none" or "ignore" value?

A bit more detail. I don't get it.

The problem is that certain goals don't make sense for any given project. For example, I've got a project that exists solely for the purpose of deploying to JBoss using pre-built components generated by other projects, so in this case, the jar:jar goal makes no sense (and ends up generating a junk .jar file that is of no use to anyone). This issue can be more more generalized to say that I should be able to specify goals that do or do not make sense for a given project, and multiproject will make sure to ignore that particular project if the particular goal it is attempting to run is excluded (for that project). Does that help?
