Using <target/> Attributes

You can specify attributes in the <target/> configuration to execute or not Ant tasks depending some conditions. For example, to skip Ant call, you could add the following:

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.0</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <phase> <!-- a lifecycle phase --> </phase>
            <configuration>

              <target unless="maven.test.skip">
                <echo message="To skip me, just call mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true"/>
              </target>

            </configuration>
            <goals>
              <goal>run</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
      ...
    </plugins>
  </build>
  ...
</project>
