Maven Tutorial for Beginners 6 - Introduction to the Build Lifecycle

In this video I will Give an Introduction to the Build Lifecycle.
Maven is based around the central concept of a build lifecycle. What this means is that the process for building and distributing a particular artifact (project) is clearly defined.

For the person building a project, this means that it is only necessary to learn a small set of commands to build any Maven project, and the POM will ensure they get the results they desired.

A Maven build follow a lifecycle. The Default lifecycle in maven generate-sources/generate-resources, compile, test, package
integration-test (pre and post), Install and deploy. There is also a Clean lifecycle.

Validate : validate the project is correct and all necessary information is available.
Compile : compile the source code of the project.
Test : run tests using a suitable unit testing framework. These tests should not require the code be packaged or deployed.
Package: take the compiled code and package it in its distributable format, such as a JAR.
Integration: process and deploy the package if necessary into an environment where integration tests can be run.
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 : done in an integration or release environment, copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects.

Question for you: I am currently working on updating the build process for a work project. However I need to have some files deleted before an overlay replaces them. I am using antrun to delete this files however they need to be deleted between the prepare package phase and the package phase as the target folder containing the files I need to delete are not there. Can you help me out with this? I guess I am looking for a goal that can execute right after the assembling of my webapp into the target folder but before the packaging of the war. -thanks

Instead of: "Clean takes care of cleaning the project."
Do this: "Clean deletes the target folder and removes artifacts from previous builds."

Your tutorials are generally okay, but you have to work on elaborating concepts rather than repeating the term in a circular definition. Explanations are "how" and "why", not "what".
