 Maven Build Lifecycle Phases
==========================

1. validate
   - Validate the project is correct and all necessary information is available.

2. compile
   - Compile the source code of the project.

3. test
   - Test the compiled source code using a suitable unit testing framework.
     These tests should not require the code to be packaged or deployed.

4. package
   - Take the compiled code and package it in its distributable format, such as a JAR.

5. verify
   - Run any checks on results of integration tests to ensure quality criteria are met.

6. install
   - Install the package into the local repository, for use as a dependency in other projects locally.

7. deploy
   - Done in the build environment, copies the final package to the remote repository
     for sharing with other developers and projects.
