Custom Bindings
In the Pom.xml

    <Build>        <Plugins>            <plugin>                <groupId>Org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>                <Artifactid>Maven-source-plugin</Artifactid>                <version>2.1.1</version>                <executions>                    <Execution>                        <ID>Attact-sources</ID>                        <Phase>Verify</Phase>                        <Goals>                            <goal>Jar-no-fork</goal>                        </Goals>                    </Execution>                </executions>            </plugin>        </Plugins>    </Build>

Plug-in configuration
command line configuration such as mvn Install-dmaven.test.skip = True
