Cloning frontend source from git before running "frontend-maven-plugin"

[maku]

I have a java backend project and would like to integrate a frontend project which is located in a different git repository.

So I would like to clone the frontend project before the "magic" of the "frontend-maven-plugin" happens.

Is there a way to do this?

I would try to find some Maven plugin that does git clone.
