Using maven 3.3.9, the following worked for me:

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-jar-plugin
    3.1.2
    
        
            default-jar
            none
            
                unwanted
                unwanted
            
        
    


    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-install-plugin
    3.0.0-M1
    
        true
    

So in case of the maven-jar-plugin, I bound it to a non-existent phase. For the maven-install-plugin, I used the "skip" configuration parameter. The documentation about it says: "Set this to true to bypass artifact installation. Use this for artifacts that does not need to be installed in the local repository."
