This command line option should work if you are using maven-source-plugin (works with Maven 3.6.0):
-Dmaven.source.skip=true

This is an old question and although some answers would somehow work none of them are ideal.

This answer does not break clean builds: calling "mvn <goal>" still produces the expected and backward-compatible result, which is good for continuous integration. Also this answer does not rely on committing generated code to version control, which is a bad idea as it might become out of sync with the source.

I am assuming the generate-sources phase is bound to a plugin goal.

The answer is to create a profile called "clean-build" which is active by default and contains your plugin binding. When a developer trusts they can safely skip generate-sources they may run the following.

mvn -P !clean-build <goal>

Or if the exclamation mark needs to be escaped.

mvn -P \!clean-build <goal>

Here is what the pom.xml might look like.

<profiles>
  <profile>
    <id>clean-build</id>
    <activation>
      <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
    </activation>
    <build>
      <plugins>
        <plugin>
          ...
          <executions>
            <execution>
              ...
              <phase>generate-sources</phase>
              ...
            </execution>
          </executions>
          ...
        </plugin>
      </plugins>
    </build>
  </profile>
</profiles>

This answer requires Maven 2.0.10+.

I've scenario where I generate CXF classes when ever I there is change in WSDL or WADL. Hence I generate it explicitly whenever I need. Hence I created a separate profile a new profile cxf-gen along with my usual dev, uat, syst. which has plugins to generate the classes. In short whenever I need to regenerate the classes I switch to the profile and run generate-sources. Here is sample profile I use.

<profiles>
    <profile>
        <id>dev</id>
        <activation>
            <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
        </activation>
        <properties>
            <envName>dev</envName>
        </properties>
    </profile>
    <profile>
        <id>uat</id>
        <properties>
            <envName>uat</envName>
        </properties>
    </profile>

    <profile>
