Maven exec:exec fails to see executables
I am stumped at Maven exec plugin.

Running `mvn exec:exec -Dexec.executable="curl"` (or "echo") works. But when running `mvn exec:exec` or `mvn exec:exec@b` (or `@a`) it fails saying 

> The parameter 'executable' is missing or invalid 

My POM's relevant part:


         <plugin>
          <artifactId>maven-exec-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>${version-exec-maven-plugin}</version>
          <configuration>
            <executable>curl</executable>
          </configuration>
          <executions>
            <execution>
              <id>a</id>
              <phase>compile</phase>
              <goals><goal>exec</goal></goals>
            </execution>
            <execution>
              <id>b</id>
              <goals><goal>exec</goal></goals>
              <configuration>
                <executable>curl</executable>
              </configuration>
            </execution>
          </executions>
        </plugin>
