I know this thread is really old but the solution from @Ivan Bondarenko helped me in my situation.

I had the following in my pom.xml.

<build>
    ...
    <plugins>
         <plugin>
                <groupId>com.consol.citrus</groupId>
                <artifactId>citrus-remote-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>${citrus.version}</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>generate-citrus-war</id>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>test-war</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

What I wanted, was to disable the execution of generate-citrus-war for a specific profile and this was the solution:

<profile>
    <id>it</id>
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>com.consol.citrus</groupId>
                <artifactId>citrus-remote-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>${citrus.version}</version>
                <executions>
                    <!-- disable generating the war for this profile -->
                    <execution>
                        <id>generate-citrus-war</id>
                        <phase/>
                    </execution>

                    <!-- do something else -->
                    <execution>
                        ...
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</profile>
