Lifecycles Reference

Maven defines 4 lifecycles in org.apache.maven.lifecycle.providers package:

default Lifecycle

default lifecycle is defined only with phases, without any associated plugin binding: plugins bindings for this lifecycle are defined separately for each packaging:

private static final String[] PHASES = {
    "validate",
    "initialize",
    "generate-sources",
    "process-sources",
    "generate-resources",
    "process-resources",
    "compile",
    "process-classes",
    "generate-test-sources",
    "process-test-sources",
    "generate-test-resources",
    "process-test-resources",
    "test-compile",
    "process-test-classes",
    "test",
    "prepare-package",
    "package",
    "pre-integration-test",
    "integration-test",
    "post-integration-test",
    "verify",
    "install",
    "deploy"
};

clean Lifecycle

clean lifecycle phases are defined with their plugins bindings:

    private static final String[] PHASES = {"pre-clean", "clean", "post-clean"};

    private static final String MAVEN_CLEAN_PLUGIN_VERSION = "3.2.0";

    private static final String[] BINDINGS = {
        "clean", "org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:" + MAVEN_CLEAN_PLUGIN_VERSION + ":clean"
    };

site Lifecycle

site lifecycle phases are defined with their plugins bindings:

    private static final String[] PHASES = {"pre-site", "site", "post-site", "site-deploy"};

    private static final String MAVEN_SITE_PLUGIN_VERSION = "3.12.1";

    private static final String[] BINDINGS = {
        "site", "org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:" + MAVEN_SITE_PLUGIN_VERSION + ":site",
        "site-deploy", "org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:" + MAVEN_SITE_PLUGIN_VERSION + ":deploy"
    };

wrapper Lifecycle

wrapper lifecycle phases are defined with their plugins bindings:

    private static final String[] PHASES = {"wrapper"};

    private static final String MAVEN_WRAPPER_PLUGIN_VERSION = "3.2.0";

    private static final String[] BINDINGS = {
        "wrapper", "org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-wrapper-plugin:" + MAVEN_WRAPPER_PLUGIN_VERSION + ":wrapper"
    };
