Description

scm:validate invokes the lifecycle validate prior to calling itself.
but this adds no benifit and just slows down the build (esp if scm:validate is bound to the validate phase!)

That is scm:validate should only be validating the scm information in the POM - if other plugins such as the enforcer fail due to incorrect deps this should not cause mvn:validate to fail!
