I am using a different plugin to jar my files. What is the best way to avoid the maven-jar plugin from executing?

First, the jar:jar goal is bound by default on the package phase for a project with a packaging of type jar. Second, there is no way to unbind a plugin bound to a phase. So, if you are using another plugin(?), either accept to produce 2 JARs or change the packaging (but I don't think this will work well).

Answer 2

Explicitly bind the jar plugin to a phase that doesn't exist.

Answer 3

       <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <skip>true</skip>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
