Maven

Few point about maven

Maven: Lifecycle vs. Phase vs. Plugin vs. Goal

Life cycle is a sequence of named phases.

Phases executes sequentially. Executing a phase means executes all previous phases.

Plugin is a collection of goals also called MOJO (Maven Old Java Object). Most of Maven's functionality is in plugins. A plugin provides a set of goals that can be executed using the following syntax:

mvn [plugin-name]:[goal-name]

Goal is the task (action) that is executed.

Maven is based around the central concept of a build lifecycle. There are three built-in build lifecycles: default, clean and site.

The default lifecycle handles your project deployment

The clean lifecycle handles project cleaning

The site lifecycle handles the creation of your project's site documentation

Lifecycle default -> [validate, initialize, generate-sources, process-sources, generate-resources, process-resources, compile, process-classes, generate-test-sources, process-test-sources, generate-test-resources, process-test-resources, test-compile, process-test-classes, test, prepare-package, package, pre-integration-test, integration-test, post-integration-test, verify, install, deploy]

Lifecycle clean -> [pre-clean, clean, post-clean]

Lifecycle site -> [pre-site, site, post-site, site-deploy]
