How can I fix the unexpected clean phase caused by maven 3.3.9's build order and use ${revision}

I have a multi-module maven project, it's a springboot project.
Because of our company's jenkins script, I need to copy the runnable module(with the spring main class) to the root pom menu and I use Maven CI Friendly Versions's placeholder ${revision} to make the version simplify, but it's not work because the build order deleted the .jar file in maven 3.3.9 after copy, and it's works when the maven version is 3.8.2.
I write a demo project to reproduce the problem, the root pom is called demo-root, and a web module called demo-web.
Here's my root pom

Then, I run the mvn clean package under the root dir(with the .pom file).
Here's the build log, we can see that the build order is 'demo-web' -> 'demo-root'.
And under the log we can see that build order make the clean after the copy, that deleted the .jar file.

it works well.

So, the problem is happened with 3 pre-condition:
1、use maven-dependency-plugin to copy the module .jar file to the root dir.
2、use the ${revision} placeholder to the version tag.
3、run mvn clean package command in maven 3.3.9
How can I fix this problem when I can't change the maven version(cause the 3.3.9's a company version, change it make a lot of effect). And still want to copy the .jar to the root dir(cause the jenkins script is a company specification). And keep the ${revision} benefit to multi-version control.

If you really cannot change the Maven version, I would no use the ${revision} and instead add the versions directly.
You can then update all versions in a project by calling mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=1.2.3-SNAPSHOT

Maven - how to run compile goal only once while using openjpa plugin

When i run mvn clean compile openjpa:enhance install i noticed compile goal running twice - once before openjpa:enhance and after it (also with resources), which causes enhanced classes with openjpa:enhance to be discarded, because they are compiled again and rewritten.
How to change pom.xml or mvn command arguments so it will not run compile twice, but only once before openjpa:enhance? install at the end is needed.

According to this page, https://code.google.com/p/appengine-maven-plugin/issues/detail?id=41 , you need to add the plugin not only in the <build><pluginManagement> section, but also in the <build><plugins> section. So you would need to extend your pom as follows:
<build>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/WEB-INF/classes</outputDirectory>
<pluginManagement>
<!-- other plugins here -->
<plugin>
<groupId>com.google.appengine</groupId>
<artifactId>appengine-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.9.12</version>
<configuration>
<enableJarClasses>false</enableJarClasses>

</plugin>

I created a new maven project in Eclipse that runs simple test by using both HtmlUnitDriver and FirefoxDriver to pull up a web page and check the title on the page. When I run maven command mvn test this is all that I get:

This is my pom.xml for those who want to check if that may be the issue:

Did you mean to add org.apache.maven.surefire as a POM dependency under <dependencies>?
Most usages of the Surefire plugin are configured under the <pluginManagement> section:
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.16</version>

Maven release:prepare goal

We have the following config in our POM file:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<skip>true</skip>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>surefire-it</id>
<phase>integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>test</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<skip>false</skip>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
This ensures that the tests are not executed during test phase. Tests are executed only during integration-test phase.
However, when we prepare for release (release:prepare), maven executes the tests during test phase. This causes our build to fail because our tests can be run only during Integration test phase (we use tomcat-maven plugin to deploy the packaged war before the tests can be executed).
I know that we can skip the tests by passing the parameter (-DskipTests etc.). We do not want to skip any tests, we just want release:prepare to execute just like any other maven goal.
Any suggestion/help is highly appreciated.

Try with the more general approach to disable the maven-surefire-plugin completely during test phase.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-test</id>
<!-- Disable the default-test by putting it in phase none -->
<phase>none</phase>
</execution>
<execution>
<!-- Enable the test during integration-test phase -->
<id>surefire-it</id>
<phase>integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>test</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Edit
This is the output from my dry run of mvn release:prepare with the above configured surefire plugin:

Add your integration tests in a separate profile which isn't active by default. Add a triggerring rule or something. Then invoke the builds with the integration tests on a need by need basis. For example, on your CI (Jenkins/Hudson, TeamCity, Bamboo, etc) triggered the profile.
The problem you are currently facing is that you haven't made a separation between the two types of tests and when they should run. You have simply defined the phases you would like them to execute in. This isn't sufficient knowledge of the execution context for Maven to figure out what you would like to do and it invokes them during the release as well.

I would try an alternate approach, and try to configure the release plugin to always use -DskipTests as an argument so you don't need to specify it each time:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin<artifactId>
<configuration>
<arguments>-DskipTests</arguments>
</configuration>
</plugin>
In theory this should append -DskipTests to the arguments that the prepare and release goals pass to the sub-executions of Maven that they execute.

Use the maven-failsafe-plugin for the integration tests, and keep maven-surefire-plugin for the unit tests.
This will guarantee that the unit tests are completely segregated from the integration tests (and can therefore be turned off separately), and the integration tests are run during the "integration-test and verify phases of the build lifecycle".
