What is Build Lifecycle?

Build Lifecycle is a well defined sequence of phases which define the order in which the goals are to be executed. Here phase represents a stage in life cycle.

As an example, a typical Maven Build Lifecycle is consists of following sequence of phases

Phase Handles Description
prepare-resources resource copying Resource copying can be customized in this phase.
compile compilation Source code compilation is done in this phase.
package packaging This phase creates the JAR / WAR package as mentioned in packaging in POM.xml.
install installation This phase installs the package in local / remote maven repository.

There are always pre and post phases which can be used to register goals which must run prior to or after a particular phase.

When Maven starts building a project, it steps through a defined sequence of phases and executes goals which are registered with each phase. Maven has following three standard lifecycles:

  • clean

  • default(or build)

  • site

goal represents a specific task which contributes to the building and managing of a project. It may be bound to zero or more build phases. A goal not bound to any build phase could be executed outside of the build lifecycle by direct invocation.

The order of execution depends on the order in which the goal(s) and the build phase(s) are invoked. For example, consider the command below. The clean and package arguments are build phases while the dependency:copy-dependencies is a goal.

mvn clean dependency:copy-dependencies package

Here the clean phase will be executed first, and then the dependency:copy-dependencies goal will be executed, and finally package phase will be executed.

Clean Lifecycle

When we execute mvn post-clean command, Maven invokes the clean lifecycle consisting of the following phases.

  • pre-clean

  • clean

  • post-clean

Maven clean goal (clean:clean) is bound to the clean phase in the clean lifecycle. Its clean:clean goal deletes the output of a build by deleting the build directory. Thus when mvn clean command executes, Maven deletes the build directory.

We can customize this behavior by mentioning goals in any of the above phases of clean life cycle.

In the following example, We'll attach maven-antrun-plugin:run goal to the pre-clean, clean, and post-clean phases. This will allow us to echo text messages displaying the phases of the clean lifecycle.

We've created a pom.xml in C:\MVN\project folder.

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0

<build>
<plugins>

<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>

<phase>pre-clean</phase>
<goals>

<configuration>

</configuration>

<execution>

<phase>clean</phase>
<goals>

<configuration>
<tasks>
<echo>post-clean phase</echo>
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>

Now open command console, go to the folder containing pom.xml and execute the following mvncommand.

C:\MVN\project>mvn post-clean

Maven will start processing and display all the phases of clean life cycle

You can try tuning mvn clean command which will display pre-clean and clean, nothing will be executed for post-clean phase.

Default (or Build) Lifecycle

This is the primary life cycle of Maven and is used to build the application. It has following 23 phases.

Lifecycle Phase Description
validate Validates whether project is correct and all necessary information is available to complete the build process.
initialize Initializes build state, for example set properties
generate-sources Generate any source code to be included in compilation phase.
process-sources Process the source code, for example, filter any value.
generate-resources Generate resources to be included in the package.
process-resources Copy and process the resources into the destination directory, ready for packaging phase.
compile Compile the source code of the project.
process-classes Post-process the generated files from compilation, for example to do bytecode enhancement/optimization on Java classes.
generate-test-sources Generate any test source code to be included in compilation phase.
process-test-sources Process the test source code, for example, filter any values.
test-compile Compile the test source code into the test destination directory.
process-test-classes Process the generated files from test code file compilation.
test Run tests using a suitable unit testing framework(Junit is one).
prepare-package Perform any operations necessary to prepare a package before the actual packaging.
package Take the compiled code and package it in its distributable format, such as a JAR, WAR, or EAR file.
pre-integration-test Perform actions required before integration tests are executed. For example, setting up the required environment.
integration-test Process and deploy the package if necessary into an environment where integration tests can be run.
post-integration-test Perform actions required after integration tests have been executed. For example, cleaning up the environment.
verify Run any check-ups to verify the package is valid and meets quality criterias.
install Install the package into the local repository, which can be used as a dependency in other projects locally.
deploy Copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects.

There are few important concepts related to Maven Lifecycles which are wroth to mention:

  • When a phase is called via Maven command, for example mvn compile, only phases upto and including that phase will execute.

  • Different maven goals will be bound to different phases of Maven lifecycle depending upon the type of packaging (JAR / WAR / EAR).

In the following example, We'll attach maven-antrun-plugin:run goal to few of the phases of Build lifecycle. This will allow us to echo text messages displaying the phases of the lifecycle.

We've updated pom.xml in C:\MVN\project folder.

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"

Now open command console, go the folder containing pom.xml and execute the following mvncommand.

C:\MVN\project>mvn compile

Maven will start processing and display phases of build life cycle upto compile phase.

Site Lifecycle

Maven Site plugin is generally used to create fresh documentation to create reports, deploy site etc.

Phases

  • pre-site

  • site

  • post-site

  • site-deploy

In the following example, We'll attach maven-antrun-plugin:run goal to all the phases of Site lifecycle. This will allow us to echo text messages displaying the phases of the lifecycle.

We've updated pom.xml in C:\MVN\project folder.

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"

</plugins>
</build>
</project>

Now open command console, go the folder containing pom.xml and execute the following mvncommand.

C:\MVN\project>mvn site

Maven will start processing and display phases of site life cycle upto site phase.
