title: How to have specific maven goal appear on Life-cycle or plugins without run configuration
body: <p>I have a maven project, in my pom.xml file, I'm using org.codehaus.mojo
  I have generated an option to run the main class with a synonym name:</p>
  
  <pre><code>mvn exec:java@genSql
  mvn exec:java@runSql
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like these goals to appear under Maven LifeCycle/Plugins just like Clean, instal, etc.</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to use Maven run configuration since it's not on git
  How do make it shown on the Lifecycle or Plugins?</p>
  
  <pre><code>   &lt;build&gt;
      &lt;plugins&gt;
      &lt;plugin&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;org.codehaus.mojo&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;exec-maven-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;version&gt;1.2.1&lt;/version&gt;
          &lt;executions&gt;
              &lt;execution&gt;
                  &lt;id&gt;genSql&lt;/id&gt;
                  &lt;goals&gt;
                      &lt;goal&gt;java&lt;/goal&gt;
                  &lt;/goals&gt;
                  &lt;configuration&gt;
                      &lt;mainClass&gt;com.myCompany.build.SqlGenerator&lt;/mainClass&gt;
                  &lt;/configuration&gt;
              &lt;/execution&gt;
              &lt;execution&gt;
                  &lt;id&gt;runSql&lt;/id&gt;
                  &lt;goals&gt;
                      &lt;goal&gt;java&lt;/goal&gt;
                  &lt;/goals&gt;
                  &lt;configuration&gt;
                      &lt;mainClass&gt;com.myCompany.build.DBLauncher&lt;/mainClass&gt;
                  &lt;/configuration&gt;
              &lt;/execution&gt;
          &lt;/executions&gt;
      &lt;/plugin&gt;
      &lt;/plugins&gt;
  &lt;/build&gt;
