I understand that Maven has a number of phases that run in the order they are defined for a given lifecycle, and that you can attach goals to a phase.
What happens when you attach a number of goals to a phase, how does Maven determine what order to run the goals in?
A Maven plugin is a group of goals; however, these goals aren't necessarily all bound to the same phase.
In such a case, Maven runs the resources:resources goal associated with the process-resources phase, then compiler:compile , and so on until it finally runs the surefire:test goal.
From the main menu, select Run | Edit Configurations to open the run/debug configuration for your project. In the list that opens, select Run Maven Goal. In the Select Maven Goal dialog, specify a project and a goal that you want to execute before launching the project. Click OK.
xml file defines the set of goals to be executed by the maven build. For example, if it's jar then the following phases and goals will be executed. We can also configure goals in the pom. xml file using the plugins element.
From "Introduction to the Build Lifecycle":
The goals that are configured will be added to the goals already bound to the lifecycle from the packaging selected. If more than one goal is bound to a particular phase, the order used is that those from the packaging are executed first, followed by those configured in the POM. Note that you can use the
<executions>
element to gain more control over the order of particular goals.
