As promised, I tried for the multiple executions.
For the moment maven-antrun-plugin do not allows you to skip plugin's
execution
cf. http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANTRUN-65, Vote for it ! :-)
But you can do this :
parent-pom :
------------------
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>antrun_id1</id>
<phase>validate</phase>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<echo message="project.build.directory =
${project.build.directory}"/>
</tasks>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>antrun_id2</id>
<phase>validate</phase>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<echo message="antrun id 2 execution"/>
</tasks>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
</build>
module1-pom:
----------------------
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>antrun_id1</id>
<phase>validate</phase>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<echo message="NOTHING TO DO..."/>
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
It results:
-------------
[INFO]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Building Unnamed - tests.multimodules:module1:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT
[INFO] task-segment: [validate]
[INFO]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] [antrun:run {execution: antrun_id1}]
[INFO] Executing tasks
[echo] NOTHING TO DO...
[INFO] Executed tasks
[INFO] [antrun:run {execution: antrun_id2}]
[INFO] Executing tasks
[echo] antrun id 2 execution
[INFO] Executed tasks
[INFO]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Building Unnamed - tests.multimodules:module2:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT
[INFO] task-segment: [validate]
[INFO]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] [antrun:run {execution: antrun_id1}]
[INFO] Executing tasks
[echo] project.build.directory =

[INFO] Executed tasks
[INFO] [antrun:run {execution: antrun_id2}]
[INFO] Executing tasks
[echo] antrun id 2 execution
[INFO] Executed tasks

So it seems to be good !
Nevertheless, it's better to can skip the antrun execution.
