Remove one goal from plugin execution from parent pom

Recently we changed maven version to 3.5.4
According to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5940
the maven-source-plugin jar goal has been changed into jar-no-fork in Maven Super POM
We have company master pom:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-sources</id>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
which one I can not change.
Together with maven super pom in effective pom I got
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-sources</id>
<goals>
<goal>jar-no-fork</goal>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<inherited>true</inherited>
</plugin>
During release sources are generated twice (one file override the second one) but on deployment to Artifactory I got error because of no rights to override artifacts.
Can I configure some how my pom to disable one goal for plugin?

You need to remove the execution from your parent pom (it's enough to remove the default phase) and add a new execution with the new goal:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-sources</id>
<phase/>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>custom-attach-sources</id>
<goals>
<goal>jar-no-fork</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<inherited>true</inherited>
</plugin>

Java - Maven JAXB-2 plugin multiple schemes with different configurations doesn't generate classes

We are moving our existing project from Ant + Eclipse to Maven + IntelliJ IDEA.
I am currently using JAXB to generate classes from xsd files. I want to continue the current project structure so i want jaxb2-maven-plugin to generate the classes in a specific location. I have multiple schemes and want to generate the classes in different locations. I'm using multiple plugin execution bindings in order to do that as instructed in the JAXB-2 Maven plugin site.
My problem is that only the first execution is performed. None of the classes in the second execution are generated.
Here is my POM.xml file relevant part:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.5</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>schema1</id>
<goals>
<goal>xjc</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<schemaDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/resources/schemes</schemaDirectory>
<schemaFiles>myschema1.xsd</schemaFiles>
<packageName>xml</packageName>
<outputDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/java/com/example/dor/a</outputDirectory>
<arguments>-extension -Xcloneable -Xdefault-value -Xsetters -Xannotate</arguments>
<staleFile>${build.directory}/.jaxb-staleFlag-1</staleFile>
<clearOutputDir>false</clearOutputDir>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>schema2</id>
<goals>
<goal>xjc</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<schemaDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/resources/schemes</schemaDirectory>
<schemaFiles>myschema2.xsd</schemaFiles>
<packageName>xml</packageName>
<outputDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/java/com/example/dor/b</outputDirectory>
<arguments>-extension -Xcloneable -Xdefault-value -Xsetters -Xannotate</arguments>
<staleFile>${build.directory}/.jaxb-staleFlag-1</staleFile>
<clearOutputDir>false</clearOutputDir>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

An update answer using version 2.5.0 of the plugin. This would be the configuration:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>schema1</id>
<goals>
<goal>xjc</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<packageName>com.your.package</packageName>
<sources>
<source>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/xsd/sample1/sample1.xsd</source>
</sources>
<clearOutputDir>false</clearOutputDir>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>schema2</id>
<goals>
<goal>xjc</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<packageName>com.your.package</packageName>
<sources>
<source>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/xsd/sample2/sample2.xsd</source>
</sources>
<clearOutputDir>false</clearOutputDir>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Hope it helps for newer configurations.

I would upgrade to 1.6, and you will have to put the 2 schemas in different packages to stop a conflict in the generated ObjectFactory. Below works for me:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.6</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>schema1</id>
<goals>
<goal>xjc</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<schemaDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/resources/schemes</schemaDirectory>
<schemaFiles>myschema1.xsd</schemaFiles>
<packageName>xml.a</packageName>
<outputDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/generated1</outputDirectory>
<clearOutputDir>true</clearOutputDir>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>schema2</id>
<goals>
<goal>xjc</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<schemaDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/resources/schemes</schemaDirectory>
<schemaFiles>myschema2.xsd</schemaFiles>
<packageName>xml.b</packageName>
<outputDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/generated2</outputDirectory>
<clearOutputDir>true</clearOutputDir>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

Had the same problem.
Enabled the -X option of maven to see why the second generation is not performed.
The second generation was not run because the staleFile was the same. I had to add to both executions the parameter staleFile having different values:
<staleFile>${project.build.directory}/jaxb2/.xjcStaleFlag1</staleFile>
........
<staleFile>${project.build.directory}/jaxb2/.xjcStaleFlag2</staleFile>

Binding to lifecycle in maven does not work on failsafe and integration-test

When trying to get failsafe bound to the lifecycle, nothing is executed at all. I have read this guide and this related question, and according to this information, it should be possible to make maven execute an the goal integration-test of failsafe in the integration-test, when I specify it in the build/pluginManagement/plugins-section in the pom.xml like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.17</version>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>**/*IT</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>failsafe-integration-tests</id>
<phase>integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>failsafe-verify</id>
<phase>verify</phase>
<goals>
<goal>verify</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Unfortunately, this does not force maven to run failsafe:integration-test at all (neither with mvn integration-test nor mvn verify)
But if I try to use failsafe with the plugin-specification like this (from here with added configuration):
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.17</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>integration-test</id>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
<goal>verify</goal>
</goals>
<phase>integration-test</phase>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>**/*IT</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
At least maven compile failsafe:integration-test runs. But unfortunately, this does not call pre- and post-integration-test. I am struggeling for this for a while now, and have no clue - it should be bound as it is.
Does anybody know why this happens, or how I can fix it?

The thing you did is to define it only in pluginManagement but you have to run it really like this. The definition in pluginManagement is good practice to pin the version of the plugin.
<project>
[...]
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
<goal>verify</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
[...]
</project>
Apart from that it's not necessary to give include rules for the maven-failsafe-plugin cause it has already defaults defined so no need for that.

Disabling goals in a maven plugin execution

I have a setup where most of my projects require the xtend plugin to be run both for the compile and testCompile goals. I describe it in a pluginManagement section:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.xtend</groupId>
<artifactId>xtend-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
<goal>testCompile</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Now, there are some projects that don't need one goal or the other. I've tried the inherited tag, played around with random attributes but none worked. How can I override the execution to contain only the desired goal?
UPDATE: The conclusion of the story is that individial goals cannot be disabled. The smallest scope that can be managed is the execution.

Generally, you can only disables executions with a trick:
Set the executions phase to non existant phase (dont-execute). Note however, that you have to use two different execution ids to allow both goals to be individually turned off:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.xtend</groupId>
<artifactId>xtend-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>xtend-compile</id>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
<goal>testCompile</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>xtend-testCompile</id>
<goals>
<goal>testCompile</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Submodule:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.xtend</groupId>
<artifactId>xtend-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>xtend-testCompile</id>
<phase>dont-execute</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
In your specific case, you could, of course, also use the skipXtend configuration property in each execution to not skip the execution, but only prevent the plugin from doing anything:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.xtend</groupId>
<artifactId>xtend-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>xtend-testCompile</id>
<configuration>
<skipXtend>xtend-testCompile</skipXtend>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

maven: Cannot get pre-integration-phase to work

I'm trying to get pre and post integration phase to work with maven, to no avail.
My goal is to set up and tear down integration tests by running some binaries that are necessary. I'm testing with antrun-plugin and exec-plugin, but none of them prints the messages.
I'm running mvn verify. If I bind the plugins to clean phase and run mvn clean, the echo message and the ls are shown.
What's wrong? I'm using maven3
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.12.3</version>

<execution>
<id>integration-test</id>
<goals>
<goal>integration-test</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>verify</id>
<goals>
<goal>verify</goal>

</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

I helped someone else get the failsafe plugin configured correctly earlier. Try explicitly specifying the phases in the failsafe plugin executions. Not sure why that is needed, as the failsafe plugin docs say the goals are supposed to be bound to correct phases by default - but it seems to be.
