[FIXED] How to use custom execution for testCompile goal for maven-compiler-plugin

Issue

I am using an annotationProcessor with maven-compiler-plugin in a custom profile.

<profile>                                                       
  <id>error-prone-test-compile</id>

        <executions>                                            
          <execution>                                           
            <id>test-compile-error-prone</id>

            </configuration>                                    
          </execution>                                          
        </executions>                                           
      </plugin>                                                 
    </plugins>                                                  
  </build>                                                      
</profile>                                                      

Not using the current config, when running

mvn clean test-compile -Perror-prone-test-compile

the testCompile goal is executed twice (default-testCompile and test-compile-error-prone):

[INFO] --- maven-compiler-plugin:3.10.1:testCompile (default-testCompile) @ checkstyle ---

I want to replace default-testCompile with test-compile-error-prone i.e. only execute test-compile-error-prone and not execute default-testCompile.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Solution

Skip the default-testCompile:

  <execution>                                           
    <id>default-testCompile</id>
    <phase>test-compile</phase>
    <goals>
        <goal>testCompile</goal>
    </goals>                   

    <configuration>                                     
      <skip>true</skip>
    </configuration>
  </execution>                  
  <execution>                                           
    <id>test-compile-error-prone</id>                   
    <phase>test-compile</phase>                         
    <goals>                                             
      <goal>testCompile</goal>                          
    </goals>                                            
    <configuration>                                     
      <failOnError>false</failOnError>
