| validate |
validate the project is correct and all necessary information is available. |
| initialize |
initialize build state, e.g. set properties or create directories. |
| generate-sources |
generate any source code for inclusion in compilation. |
| process-sources |
process the source code, for example to filter any values. |
| generate-resources |
generate resources for inclusion in the package. |
| process-resources |
copy and process the resources into the destination directory, ready for packaging. |
| compile |
Compiles source code |
| process-classes |
Allows actions to be executed after compilation like bytecode enhancement for Java classes. |
| generate-test-sources |
generate any test source code for inclusion in compilation. |
| process-test-sources |
process the test source code, for example to filter any values. |
| generate-test-resources |
create resources for testing. |
| process-test-resources |
copy and process the resources into the test destination directory. |
| test-compile |
Compiles testing code |
| process-test-classes |
Allows actions to be executed after compilation like bytecode enhancement for Java classes. |
| test |
Run tests. These tests should not require the code be packaged or deployed. |
| prepare-package |
Allows actions to be executed before packaging. |
| package |
Packages the compiled code in a distributable format such as a JAR. |
| pre-integration-test |
Allows actions to be executed after integration test like setting up the environment. |
| integration-test |
process and deploy the package if necessary into an environment where integration tests can be run. |
| post-integration-test |
Allows actions to be executed after integration test like cleaning up the environment. |
| verify |
run any checks to verify the package is valid. |
| install |
install the package into the local repository, for use as a dependency in other projects locally. |
| deploy |
done in an integration or release environment.
copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects. |
| Two other phases related to the build lifecycle are: |
| mvn clean |
Performs a clean-up task for the project. |
| mvn site |
Generates an index.html file in target/site.
This contains links to JavaDoc and a some reports about the source code. |
