James Perkins commented on JBASMP-67:
-------------------------------------

I'm not sure how keen I am on adding a skip to every goal, but I will analyze it. A workaround might be to add an empty command configuration or just execute a read-only command.

That said an NPE is definitely a bug. We could either fail if there no commands or print a warning message. Seems, at least in this case, just printing a warning messages would be ideal.

> When running in multimodule project and only some of them has interactions with JBoss AS, we need to disable plugin execution on the rest of projects.
> For this, we define plugin behavior on top parent pom, within pluginManagement, and set skip=true, and on the projects that interact with jboss-as, we enable the plugin (skip=false). This way we deploy and undeploy correctly, but when we run execute-commands from top projects, it fails, because although plugin is disabled, it runs this goal, and since it doesn't have commands configured, gives a nice NullPointerException.
