Answer 1

I am using the maven release plugin. Problem is simple: I don't want to do a deploy on release:perform. I actually want to execute a shell script that will do the deploy for me.

I must be missing something because when I read this, I don't see the point of the script... But let's just say I don't get it.

Somehow disable the default "deploy" goal from release:perform

According to the documentation of release:perform, you can use the optional goals parameter to specify:

A space separated list of goals to execute on deployment. Default value is either deploy or deploy site-deploy, if the project has a / element.

You could maybe use install instead of deploy.

Somehow make release:perform call the exec:exec plugin to execute a shell script

Bind it on install in a profile activated during release. Here is one way to do this:

  
  release
  
    
      
      performRelease
      true
    
  
  
    ...
  

But honestly, there is something weird with your request. Maybe giving more details would help.
