 <p>This below config worked for me. Add the plugin in both the parent and child pom. </p> <p><strong>Parent :</strong> </p> <pre><code>&lt;build&gt; &lt;plugins&gt; &lt;plugin&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-jar-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;inherited&gt;true&lt;/inherited&gt; &lt;executions&gt; &lt;execution&gt; &lt;phase&gt;integration-test&lt;/phase&gt; &lt;goals&gt; &lt;goal&gt;jar&lt;/goal&gt; &lt;/goals&gt; &lt;/execution&gt; &lt;/executions&gt; &lt;configuration&gt; &lt;skip&gt;true&lt;/skip&gt; &lt;/configuration&gt; &lt;/plugin&gt; &lt;/plugins&gt; &lt;/build&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>Child</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;build&gt; &lt;plugins&gt; &lt;plugin&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-jar-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;inherited&gt;false&lt;/inherited&gt; &lt;executions&gt; &lt;execution&gt; &lt;phase&gt;integration-test&lt;/phase&gt; &lt;goals&gt; &lt;goal&gt;jar&lt;/goal&gt; &lt;/goals&gt; &lt;/execution&gt; &lt;/executions&gt; &lt;configuration&gt; &lt;skip&gt;false&lt;/skip&gt; &lt;/configuration&gt; &lt;/plugin&gt; &lt;/plugins&gt; &lt;/build&gt; </code></pre>
