Maven: How to exclude a plugin with a custom flag - spring

Question

I have a plugin in my Spring Boot projects pom.xml which I would like the option of sometimes disabling when running mvn clean install.
Is there a configuration I could add to my pom.xml which would create a custom flag e.g. exc, which when invoked like so mvn clean install -D exc would build the jar, without that plugin.
For clarity, here is the plugin I would like to disable via a maven flag:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springdoc</groupId>
<artifactId>springdoc-openapi-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${springdoc-openapi-maven.version}</version>
<configuration>
<apiDocsUrl>http://localhost:XXXX/v3/api-docs</apiDocsUrl>
<outputDir>${project.basedir}/openapi</outputDir>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>generate</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

Answer 1

You can add <springdoc.skip>true</springdoc.skip> to your <properties> section.
Then you can activate the plugin by mvn clean install -Dspringdoc.skip=false

Answer 2

You can use profile to do that. Adding something like :
<profile>
<id>no-springdoc</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<build><plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springdoc</groupId>
<artifactId>springdoc-openapi-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${springdoc-openapi-maven.version}</version>
<configuration><skip>true</skip><configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins></build>
</profile>
and then building with mvn ... -P no-springdoc should build without the plugin.
