Executing a specific Maven phase

Question

Is there any way to execute a specific phase in a maven build. For example, if I only want to run those plug-ins that execute in the pre-integration-phase, does Maven provide a means to do that?

e.g.
mvn pre-integration-phase

Answer 1

You can't call the life-cycle-phase itself but you can call the goals of the plugins which are bound to the life-cycle-phases.

mvn compile:testCompile

mvn failsafe:integration-test

but usually this shouldn't be needed...
