Description

Sometimes I need to skip the overlay plugin execution but I don't want to change all my (about one hundred) pom.xml files.

I've done this modifing Overlay.java class as below:

private boolean skip = true;

But I think you could find a more elegant solution such as adding a parameter:

import org.apache.maven.plugins.annotations.Parameter;
[...]
@Parameter( property = "skipOverlays", defaultValue = "false" )
private boolean skip;

I've tested this code but for some reason (yes, I know, is my fault) it doesn't work, and unfortunatelly I have no more time to spend in this task.

Please, don't let my stupidity prevents you to consider this improvement.

Best Regards,
