18.2.4 Executing the plugin as part of build lifecycle

If you want to execute the plugin as part of the build lifecycle, use the "attached-webapp" goal.

warning: when adding this in the root pom, be aware that this will run first, as part of the root pom, not after all the modules have been built. Define a separate project with approriate dependencies to force correct execution order. I think this is the only solution, though have not looked to deep into it yet. (what does assembly:attached do?). Anyway, I'd recommend calling it manually for now.

      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.kauriproject</groupId>
        <artifactId>kauri-package-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${version.kauri}</version>
        <inherited>false</inherited>        
        <configuration>
          <confDirectory>${basedir}/conf</confDirectory>
        </configuration>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <phase>install</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>attached-webapp</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
