The Invoker Plugin is used to run a set of Maven projects. The plugin can determine whether each project execution is successful, and optionally can verify the output generated from a given project execution.

This plugin is in particular handy to perform integration tests for other Maven plugins. The Invoker Plugin can be employed to run a set of test projects that have been designed to assert certain features of the plugin under test.

The plugin has four goals meant to participate in the default build lifecycle:

• invoker:install copies the project artifacts and dependencies of the main build into a dedicated local repository to prepare the execution of the selected sub projects in an isolated environment.
• invoker:integration-test runs a set of Maven projects in a directory.
• invoker:verify verifies the result of invoker:integration-test.
• invoker:run runs a set of Maven projects in a directory and verifies the result. This is equivalent to running both invoker:integration-test and invoker:verify.

This last goal is intended for usage with the site lifecycle:

• invoker:report integrates the results from previous builds into the site.
