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 |
compile the source code of the project. |
process-classes |
post-process the generated files from compilation, for example to do bytecode enhancement on 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 |

process-test-classes |
post-process the generated files from test compilation, for example to do bytecode enhancement on Java classes. For Maven 2.0.5 and above. |
test |
run tests using a suitable unit testing framework. These tests should not require the code be packaged or deployed. |
prepare-package |
perform any operations necessary to prepare a package before the actual packaging. This often results in an unpacked, processed version of the package. (Maven 2.1 and above) |
package |

pre-integration-test perform |
actions required before integration tests are executed. This may involve things such as setting up the required environment. |
integration-test |
process and deploy the package if necessary into an environment where integration tests can be run. |
post-integration-test |
perform actions required after integration tests have been executed. This may including cleaning up the environment. |
verify |
run any checks to verify the package is valid and meets quality criteria. |
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. |
