title: How to skip maven child module build
body: <p>I have project like</p>
  
  <pre><code>module1
  module2
  module3
   submodule1
      src
        main
          java
          resources
      child1
      child2
  module4
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I run mvn clean install on the project all top and submodules builds. But I want maven not to execute child1, child2. How I can do that. I found that using profiles I can do that. But how? Can I do something in submodule1 pom so that child1, child2 exclude from the maven phases ?</p>
