How to get the name of goal in maven2's Mojo at runtime

Question

For Maven2 how can I get the name of goal currently being executed in Mojo's execute method? Precisely I need value of @goal attribute inside Mojo's execute method.

Answer 1

public static String getGoalName(PluginDescriptor pluginDescriptor, String mojoClassName) {
     String goalName=null;
     List<MojoDescriptor> mojoDescriptorList = pluginDescriptor.getMojos();
     for (MojoDescriptor mojoDescriptor : mojoDescriptorList) {
      if (mojoDescriptor.getImplementation().equals(mojoClassName)) {
       goalName=mojoDescriptor.getGoal();
       break;
      }
     }
     return goalName;
    }

Here, PluginDescriptor can be fetched from pluginManager.getPluginDescriptorForPrefix("prefix-for-your-plugin"). PluginManager is available as @component role="org.apache.maven.plugin.PluginManager"
