Maven plugin to execute other plugins?

Question

Is there a maven plugin that executes other maven plugins? I swear there was one and now I can not find it.

Thanks!

If you don't find anything else, you could always write your own with the help of The Mojo Executer. It's a library that allows you to easily write plugins that invoke other plugins.

I'm still not quite sure I understand your answer to Waldheinz though. Maybe you could explain exactly why you need to do this? Maybe there's an alternative solution that doesn't involve chaining plugins.
