ignore maven dependency during specific execution phase

Answer 1

I got around this by using a seperate .m2/settings-eclipse.xml (for eclipse) where I over-ride the default type of dependency. so in my launcher POM, I have:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.myco</groupId>
  <artifactId>my-server</artifactId>
  <version>${project.version}</version>

  <!-- here we want eclipse to see "jar" but command line to see "war" -->
  <type>${jetty.launcher.workaround}</type>
</dependency>

I still would like to know if there is a direct way to approach the original problem.
