title: Changing the order of maven plugins execution
body: <p>I am new to <strong>maven</strong>, I would like to <em>change the order of the maven plugins execution</em>.</p>
  <p>In my <strong>pom.xml</strong>, I have <code>maven-assembly-plugin</code> and <code>maven-ant-plugin</code>.</p>
  <ul>
  <li><code>maven-assembly-plugin</code> for creating a zip file.</li>
  <li><code>maven-ant-plugin</code> for copying the zip file from target to some other directory.</li>
  </ul>
  <p>When I run <strong>pom.xml</strong>, <code>maven-ant-plugin</code> got triggered, and looking for zip file finally I got the error saying zip file not found.</p>
  <p>Please suggest to me the way how to run <code>maven-assembly-plugin</code> first before <code>maven-ant-plugin</code> so that it will find and copy the zip file to the corresponding directory.</p>
