How to generate-sources always ?

Hi,

'generate-sources' isn't a goal, it is a *phase* of the default build
lifecylce [1]. No plugin is bound to that phase for the provided default
packagings (jar, war, ...).

What are actually trying to do?

Can someone tell me how my pom needs to modified that goal
"generate-sources" always will
run when "mvn install" is invoked ?

Take a look at the Maven Antrun plugin [1], it's usage [2] and
especially the plugin/executions/execution/phase element.

I'm doing the source:jar creation on install, deploy as follows ...

<plugins>
......
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}</outputDirectory>
<finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
<attach>true</attach>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>make-sources</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
....
</plugins>

<executions>
<execution>

Hi,

What exactly is your problem? Is the question in the subject still
relevant or do you have some other problem now?

Below example do not run when Install is invoked. May i missunderstood
something completly.
As far as i understood i bound the ANT Plugin to the "generate-sources"
phase. As
Goal "Install" inclúdes compile, the "generate-source" should run also,
or what ?

Try a more "unique" id ;-)
or run maven with -X option to see, what it actually does.

I don't think so.

That's correct, with the configuration below the antrun-plugin should
execute when you run 'mvn install'.

As a first step to debug this I would add a simple echo task definition
with some dummy output to the configuration and see if that gets
printed. If it is printed (as it most probably will) the antrun-plugin
executes just fine and the problem is somewhere in the external ant
script you invoke.
