Question

I want to run some code after the eclipse goal of the eclipse plugin (eclipse:eclipse) runs.

The documentation of the eclipse plugin says that the generate-resources phase is execute prior to the eclipse goal, but it doesn’t mention any phase that is executed after.
I wanted to include the code with the gmaven-plugin but I can’t find the right configuration:

<execution>
    <id>delete_generated_sources_from_cp</id>
    <phase>generate-resources</phase>
    <goals>
        <goal>execute</goal>
    </goals>
    <configuration>
        <providerSelection>1.7</providerSelection>
        <source>
            modifyClasspath.groovy
        </source>
    </configuration>
</execution>

Answer 1

Simply add the plugin you want to execute to your project. If you add an execution of the plugin to the phase process-resourcesit will execute after the eclipse plugin if you run mvn process-resources (or any phase after process-resources)

You could also invoke them directly: mvn eclipse:eclipse otherplugin:goal
