Disable maven plugins when using a specific profile

Question

I\'m looking to find a way of disabling a plugin execution if running with a particular profile.

This is the opposite of running a plugin if a profile is selected.

Building on Krzysiek's answer, you don't need to define explicit executions, just have a look at the output maven gives you and disable the default executions.

For instance, given the following output from maven:

[INFO] --- maven-resources-plugin:2.7:copy-resources (prepare-dockerfile) @ tilbud ---
[INFO] Using 'UTF-8' encoding to copy filtered resources.
...
[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-resources-plugin:2.7:resources (default-resources) @ tilbud ---
[INFO] Using 'UTF-8' encoding to copy filtered resources.
....
[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-compiler-plugin:3.5.1:compile (default-compile) @ tilbud ---
...
[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-resources-plugin:2.7:testResources (default-testResources) @ tilbud ---
[INFO] Using 'UTF-8' encoding to copy filtered resources.
...
[INFO]
[INFO] --- maven-compiler-plugin:3.5.1:testCompile (default-testCompile) @ tilbud ---
....

The generated default execution names is listed in parenthesis after the plugin and goal. The following profile disables the plugins above:

    
        packageOnly
        
            
                
                    
                        maven-compiler-plugin
                        
                            
                                default-compile
                                none
                            
                            
                                default-testCompile
                                none
                            
                        
                    
                    
                        maven-surefire-plugin
                        
                            
                                default-test
                                none
                            
                        
                    
                    
                        maven-resources-plugin
                        
                            
                                default-resources
                                none
                            
                            
                                default-testResources
                                none
                            
                            
                                prepare-dockerfile
                                none
