Lifecycle replacements (Plugins)

[hendrikebbers]

Goal

Create/Find a simple(r) way to replace/remove parts in the life cycle. Replace a plugin(s) within the life cycle with other plugin(s). Remove a plugin(s) from the life cycle. That should be applicable for plugins which have been bound to the lifecycle either via the life cycles or for plugins which have been manually added to the life cycle (for example via parents).

Examples

• Replace the surefire Maven plugin with a different plugin (related New Test Plugin based on JUnit Platform #51).
• Remove a plugin from the life cycle (Plugins which might have been bound to the life cycle by parents).
• Replace maven-compiler-plugin with a different plugins (for example for kotlin compilation Make it easier to replace a plugin within the life cycle #33 or groovy or alike).
  • Maybe it would also a good idea to have the option to also change defaults like the source directories / resources directory via a plugin ?
• A plugin (maybe only an extension should be able to do that; needs more investigation?) dynamically activate/deactivate/remove/add plugin(s) from the life cycle (dynamically during the build)

Requirments

• Easy configuration/setup way to add/remove/replace/deactivate plugins from/to the life cycle
• Dynamic way for plugins (maybe only extensions? not clear at the moment) to remove/deactive other plugins

Based on #33
