Maven - FindBugs Plugin - Exclude from Test Phase - maven

Question

I have the findbugs plugin working fine in my maven setup. I've setup findbugs to execute during the compile phase. I noticed however that it runs during the test phase as well because the test phase also calls compile. Because I have an automated build pipeline that runs all my targets, I don't need findbugs to run during the test phase. I've tried to exclude findbugs from the test phase with the following but no luck yet.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>findbugs-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.0</version>
<inherited>true</inherited>
<configuration>
<failOnError>${findbugs.failOnError}</failOnError>
<skip>${findbugs.skip}</skip>
<trace>${findbugs.trace}</trace>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>findbugs-test-compile</id>
<phase>test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<skip>true</skip>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

It will not be called based on the running through the life-cylcle via compile it simply is running cause you configured to have two executions one in test and one in compile phase. Findbugs should usually run in the reporting area(site).
Just make a single execution:
<executions>
<execution>
<id>findbugs-test-compile</id>
<phase>test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>check</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<skip>true</skip>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
The one you like to have. But i recommend to read the documentation cause it should run in reporting area (via site) only.
UPDATE:
If you like to run findbugs only during the site generation than just remove it from the usual build area and put into the reporting area instead.
