| validate |
validate the project is correct and all necessary information is available. |
| initialize |

| 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 |
compile the test source code into the test destination directory |
| process-test-classes |
post-process the generated files from test compilation, for example to do bytecode enhancement on Java classes. |
| 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. |
| package |
take the compiled code and package it in its distributable format, such as a JAR. |
| 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 |
