How to add a maven plugin dependency in build of a submodule as another submodule in the same project without executing mvn install?

Question

I have a parent maven module parent as follows :

<groupId>com</groupId>
<artifactId>parent</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1</version>

<modules>
<module>c1</module>
<module>c2</module>
</modules>

c1 is a normal child module of the same version 0.0.1 of same group id com.

The c2 module is of the same group id com and same version 0.0.1, however, uses a plugin under build that has a dependency on c1 as follows:

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>com</groupId>
                <artifactId>c1</artifactId>
                <version>0.0.1</version>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

If I run mvn install on c1 and then run mvn package on parent then everything works fine. However, I do not want to run mvn install on c1. Is it possible to package it in a single command?

What happens if you just run `mvn clean package` on the parent? Which error do you get? — J Fabian Meier, Apr 15 '21 at 06:30
It tries to download the dependency `c1` from maven central and says dependency not found — user1707873, Apr 15 '21 at 15:47
Does it help to reverse the order of the modules in the parent POM, i.e. write `c2` first? — J Fabian Meier, Apr 15 '21 at 18:51
Generally, you case should be covered in the build order algorithm: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11131721/927493 — J Fabian Meier, Apr 15 '21 at 18:53
