disable a plugin which imported from parent pom in child modul

Case1: the parent pom is tagged with an id

parent pom.xml

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.1</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>i-do-something</id>
            <phase>initialize</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>exec</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                ... lots of configuration
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

child pom.xml

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.2.1</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>i-do-something</id>
            <phase/>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

Case2: the parent pom doesn’t tag the execution with and id

Solution1:

edit the parent pom.xml and add a id to execution, and then use the [Case1] solution

Solution2:

parent pom.xml

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.1.2</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <phase>package</phase>
      <goals>
        <goal>jar</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
  <inherited>true</inherited>
</plugin>

child pom.xml

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <phase>none</phase>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

check

run mvn help:effective-pom to confirm that it has correctly suppressed what you needed suppressed from the parent pom.
