I use maven release plugin for generating release of my project. I do not want to generate Javadoc all time I build. On the other hand when I call release:perform I would like if maven would generate sources.jar and javadoc.jar and would deploy it to maven release repository. Just because I am curious how deploying source.jar can be disabled, since It looks like it is deployed by default.
Use the releaseProfiles parameter (example: src,javadoc
) to turn on one or more profiles, and in these profiles, define the source and javadoc generation:
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>src</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-sources</id>
<phase>verify</phase>
<goals>
<goal>jar-no-fork</goal>

</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
