Introduction

Sometimes we need to run a set of plugins - one, than other, than one again. You can't do it using standard Maven configuration (really!), but you can use this plugin. See a Details section for a compete example.

Details

Try to use following pom.xml file as an example of how this plugin works ``` http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd"> 4.0.0 ru.mipt.test TestProject pom 2.0-SNAPSHOT
