There's this task:

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.6</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>clean</id>
                    <phase>clean</phase>
                    <configuration>
                        <tasks>
                            <delete dir="src\test\resources\templates" includeemptydirs="true" />
                        </tasks>
                    </configuration>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>run</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>

The problem is: when I run mvn clean, <phase>clean</phase> tells maven to download project dependencies (that don't exist yet) and I get Could not resolve dependencies error.

How to tell maven not to require project dependencies to run this plugin?

It may not be the plugin. Perhaps, there are some dependencies are not satisfied. Did you see no dependencies in `effective-pom`? – Nishant Jan 31 '12 at 08:02

Nishant: it shouldn't ask for dependencies to clean! – basin Feb 07 '12 at 12:04
