How do I exclude the sources jar in mvn deploy?

Question

When I run \"mvn deploy:deploy\", maven deploys 4 jar files to my internal remote repository.

They are:

[module-name]-1.jar
[module-name]-1.pom
[modu

Let me assume that you shoudn't skip generating sources for a module. In that case, this would be a simple solution which helps you to handle this scenario :

In the execution part of "maven-source-plugin" under plugins section, set the attach attribute to false. This configuration will generate the sources.jar for your module, but not attached it to the project's artifact list.

The example snippet is here:

    
        org.apache.maven.plugins
        maven-source-plugin
        ${source.plugin.version}
        
            
                module1-sources
                verify
                
                    jar-no-fork
                
                
                    
                    false
