Maven: avoid deploying project package-implied artifact during standard build lifecycle

Question

Is it possible to avoid deploying the artifact that is built according to the project packaging during \'deploy:deploy\' processing?

I mean the following:

Answer 1

According to the Maven Deploy Plugin documentation:

deploy:deploy is used to automatically install the artifact, its pom and the attached artifacts produced by a particular project. [...]

So I don't think it's possible to prevent your war from being deployed "as is".

However, to obtain the desired effect, you could add a specific module to your build that would be in charge of producing the assembly (the assembly would depend on the war module) and configure the deploy plugin in the war module to skip deployment as follows:

         <plugin>
           <artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
           <version>X.Y</version>
           <configuration>
             <skip>true</skip>
           </configuration>
         </plugin>
