Default phase of a plugin

[amaresh mourya <am...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I created my own plugin and bind a goal to 'install' phase via '@phase
install' in the goal's MOJO. My question is if I run this goal via
myPlugin:Mygoal in command line, will it execute all the previous phases? I
am expecting all phases above install to be exceuted, that are
(validate,compile,test,package, integration-test, verify etc).

I am hoping this to happen because same thin happens when we run 'mvn
package', it executes all the previous phases before package. On the
contrary I found this link over the discussion and I got confused.

If any goal ran from the command line doesn't go through lifecycle phase
then how mvn package executes all the previous phases of it.

Thanks

No, if you run maven with a single goal given in the commandline it will 
just execute that goal. Nothing else.

You've got that wrong. 'package' isn't a *goal* but a *phase* in the 
default build lifecyle [1]. When you invoke a phase, all phases before 
are executed, too.
