Maven has three built-in build lifecycles: clean, default, and site. Clean Lifecycle: Deletes any build output generated by previous builds

• clean: Deletes any build output generated by previous builds

Default Lifecycle:

• validate: validates the project structure and verifies if all necessary information is available

• compile: compiles the project’s source code

• test: runs unit tests against compiled source code

• package: packages the compiled code into a distributable format (e.g., JAR, WAR)

• install: installs the package into the local repository for use as a dependency in other projects (.m2)

• deploy: deploys the package to a remote repository for sharing with other developers or environments (Push to Nexus)

Site Lifecycle:

• site: generates project documentation and reports

• site-deploy: deploys the generated documentation to a remote web server

Maven Command Examples:

• mvn compile: compiles the project’s source code

• mvn test: runs unit tests against compiled code

• mvn package: packages the compiled code into a distributable format

• mvn install: installs the package into the local repository

• mvn deploy: deploys the package to a remote repository

• mvn site: generates project documentation and reports

• mvn site-deploy: deploys the generated documentation to a remote web server

• mvn clean: executes the clean phase, deleting any previous build outputs
