Description

Currently the only way to configure the default plugin executions is from the main plugin configuration section.

 
<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <some-config>true</some-config>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

This can become messy when multiple exeuctions of one of the default plugins are desired, because some configuration may only apply to the default execution instead of applying to all the executions.
