🍃Maven CLI

Describe about Maven CLI

Command

1. mvn validate= Validate the project is correct and all necessary information is available. This phase checks the project's POM file and ensures that all required configurations and dependencies are defined correctly

2. mvn clean = It is a Maven command that is used to remove the target directory from your project. The target directory is where Maven stores all the compiled classes, JAR files, WAR files, and other artifacts generated during the build process. Running mvn clean ensures that the next build starts from a clean slate.

3. mvn test= Test the compiled source code using a suitable unit testing framework.

4. mvn compile = Compile the source code of the project. It processes the resources and source code to generate the bytecode (i.e., the .class files from .java files). It does not package the code into a JAR or WAR file, nor does it run tests or other build phases.

5. mvn package = Take the compiled code and package it into its distributable format, such as a JAR. It runs all lifecycle phases up to package, including compile and test phases. It does not install the package into the local Maven repository.

6. mvn install = This command runs all the phases in the default lifecycle up to install. It is not only packages the code but also installs the package into the local Maven repository (~/.m2/repository), making it available for other projects on the same machine. The phases executed include validate, compile, test, package, and install.
