Maven runs profile executions only after the build executions - maven

Question

Given a following maven pom.xml development profile
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>development</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.liquibase</groupId>
<artifactId>liquibase-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>01-liquibase.dropAll</id>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<configuration>
[...skip...]
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>dropAll</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
</profiles>
and main section of pom.xml:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.openjpa</groupId>
<artifactId>openjpa-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2.2</version>
<configuration>
<includes>package/pm/entity/**/*.class</includes>
<addDefaultConstructor>true</addDefaultConstructor>
<enforcePropertyRestrictions>true</enforcePropertyRestrictions>
<persistenceXmlFile>${project.parent.basedir}/forms-webapp/src/main/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml</persistenceXmlFile>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>02-enhancer</id>
<phase>process-classes</phase>
<goals>
<goal>enhance</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.openjpa</groupId>
<artifactId>openjpa</artifactId>
<version>2.2.2</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.liquibase</groupId>
<artifactId>liquibase-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>03-liquibase.update</id>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<configuration>
[...skipped...]
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>update</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<!-- for tests -->
<execution>
<id>04-liquibase-test.dropAll</id>
<phase>process-test-resources</phase>
<configuration>
[...skipped...]
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>dropAll</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>05-liquibase-test.update</id>
<phase>process-test-resources</phase>
<configuration>
[...skipped...]
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>update</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
I expect that executions will run in the following order:
....
01-liquibase.dropAll
03-liquibase.update
....
But in build log I see:
[INFO] --- liquibase-maven-plugin:3.0.4:update (03-liquibase.update) # forms-entity ---
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Parsing Liquibase Properties File
[INFO] File: src/main/resources/liquibase.properties
[INFO] 'classpath' in properties file is not being used by this task.

Is there any way to fix this wrong execution order?

Answer 1

The executions for id 01-liquibase.dropAll and 03-liquibase.update are executing on the same phase.
You could always move the execution with id 01-liquibase.dropAll to an earlier phase such as generate-resources
<id>01-liquibase.dropAll</id>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
See the Default Lifecycle section in Maven Lifecycle Reference.
