Description

some plugins need to be able to aggregate, eg the assembly plugin could take all the content based on its descriptor from the subprojects, and include them under a base path. However, at the moment it runs across all of the subprojects as well.

Need to be able to have a goal turn off the execution of the reactor (essentially it will be in aggregation mode), but have all the projects available to it (possibly just collecting - see the other bug about reactor execution modes).
