maven-invoker doesn't call install on dependency - maven

Question

i have a problem in my maven build process. there is a pom file which uses the maven-invoker-plugin to execute different tasks:
<execution>
<id>createWebstartApps</id>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<projectsDirectory>.</projectsDirectory>
<streamLogs>true</streamLogs>
<pomIncludes>
<pomInclude>pom1.xml</pomInclude>
</pomIncludes>
....
but when i use the maven release plugin "mvn release:prepare" the install goal will not be executed on the child pom dependencies. For example the pom1.xml has the following dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.qnamic.dis</groupId>
<artifactId>DisAdminToolWithPlugins</artifactId>
<version>${project.parent.version}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>runtime</scope>
.....
But this dependency (in this case the pom file) will not be installed in my local maven repo and therefore not be found:

any ideas?

Answer 1

Try adding install before run. Eg.
<execution>
<id>createWebstartApps</id>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>install</goal>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
...

Answer 2

Add the file invoker.properties next to your pom.xml
and put your goals into it, like:
invoker.goals = clean install
