Introduction

Lifecycles consist of phases, which can invoke a set of configured goals provided by certain plugins.

built-in build lifecycles:

• default: handles your project deployment.
• clean: handles project cleaning.
• site: handles the creation of your project's site documentation.

default lifecycle comprises of the following main phases:

• validate - validate the project is correct and all necessary information is available
• compile - compile the source code of the project.
• test - test the compiled source code using a suitable unit testing framework. These tests should not require the code be packaged or deployed.
• package - take the compiled code and package it in its distributable format, such as a JAR.
• verify - run any checks on results of integration tests to ensure quality criteria are met.
• install - install the package into the local repository, for use as a dependency in other projects locally.
• deploy - done in the build environment, copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects.

Usage

Create a Project

mvn -B archetype:generate \
    -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart \
    -DarchetypeVersion=1.1 \
    -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes \
    -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app \
    -DartifactId=my-app

Build the Project

mvn clean package

java -cp target/my-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.mycompany.app.App
