Running maven plugins in a specific phase

Question

Is it possible to run the maven-install-plugin in a specific phase.

I want to run the install plugin so that the ojdbc14.jar is available in my repo before it tries to check for dependencies.

My attempt below is to try set the process-resources phase but that doesn't work

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
        <artifactId>ojdbc14</artifactId>
        <version>10.2.0.1.0</version>            
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.3.1</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <phase>process-resources</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>install-file</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
            <configuration>
                <file>${basedir}/resources/ojdbc14.jar</file>
                <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
                <artifactId>ojdbc14</artifactId>
                <version>10.2.0.1.0</version>
                <packaging>jar</packaging>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

I might be wrong but can't you just install it once and for all? — mfirry, Oct 23 '12 at 13:10

Best solution to install the artifact manuall once into a repository manager and afterwards use the artifact as usual dependency.

This can only work if the jar is checked into your source repository. I advise against this as it leads to bloat (particularly with distributed SCM). If you insist, follow this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/7623805/116509

I recommend installing a repository manager such as Nexus and installing any required libs there.
