Maven Phases
Maven organizes the build process into phases. Each phase represents a different step of the build lifecycle.
Maven Phases
Executing a phase in maven will run all the preceding phases in order. When Maven reaches each phase, it will process all the goals attached to that phase.
Running the Compile phase will execute Validate first.
**Phase: **A step in the Maven build process. Each phase is part of a lifecycle and contains many goals.
Goal: An action Maven should perform. The implementation of each goal is performed by a plugin.
**Lifecycle: **An ordered list of phases that Maven associates with creating a particular type of package.
