About phase:

 

Phase is a sequence list. The sequence list is:

validate, compile, test, package, integration-test, verify, install, deploy

 

if you issue: mvn validate, it will run mvn validate

if you issue: mvn compile, it will run mvn validate, and then, mvn compile

if you issue: mvn deploy, it will run all of them, in sequence.

 

Except the above sequence, there are another 2 : clean and site.
