title: Maven error with multiple executions in maven-deploy-plugin
body: <p>I found <a href="http://ionixx.wordpress.com/2008/03/10/running-specified-ant-tasks-within-maven2-outside-the-lifecycle/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this nice recipe</a> and want to use it to deploy some 3rd-party files in our repository</p>
  
  <p>The call on the command line is </p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn -P deploy-libs
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I do this for <strong>one</strong> file it works exactly as intended</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;profiles&gt;
      &lt;profile&gt;
          &lt;id&gt;deploy-libs&lt;/id&gt;
          &lt;build&gt;
              &lt;defaultGoal&gt;deploy:deploy-file&lt;/defaultGoal&gt;
              &lt;plugins&gt;
                  &lt;plugin&gt;
                      &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.maven.plugins&lt;/groupId&gt;
                      &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-deploy-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
                      &lt;version&gt;2.4&lt;/version&gt;
                      &lt;goals&gt;
                          &lt;goal&gt;deploy-file&lt;/goal&gt;
                      &lt;/goals&gt;
                      &lt;configuration&gt;
                          &lt;repositoryId&gt;openscada-external&lt;/repositoryId&gt;
                          &lt;url&gt;${openscada.distrib.repository}&lt;/url&gt;
                          &lt;file&gt;../openscada_opc_dcom/lib/j-interop.jar&lt;/file&gt;
                          &lt;pomFile&gt;../openscada_opc_dcom/lib/j-interop.pom&lt;/pomFile&gt;
                      &lt;/configuration&gt;
                  &lt;/plugin&gt;
              &lt;/plugins&gt;
          &lt;/build&gt;
      &lt;/profile&gt;
  &lt;/profiles&gt;

  <p>If I use an execution block with multiple executions, it doesn't work. Is this a bug, or is this intended behavior?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;profiles&gt;
