You can use the technique described in my blog.

In this case, you'd disable default-deploy (or what the name is) in the root pom.xml:

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-deploy-plugin
    
        
            default-deploy
            none
        
    

And then enable it for submodules:

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-deploy-plugin
    
        
            default-deploy
            deploy
