Which goal fetches dependencies?
It appears that dependencies get downloaded from a remote repository
to local repository during the "compile" phase, but which goal of the
compile phase does that?
Is it just the compiler:compile goal? If so, does that mean I can't
fetch dependencies to my local repository without also doing a
compile? Why should it be that way?
A more general question, isn't there a way to list all the goals bound
to all the phases? I can't believe Maven has no way to show these,
but after scouring the mail archives that is the impression I get.

If you want to resolve dependencies before the compile phase, write a
Mojo that has
@requiresDependencyResolution and then bind that goal to a phase before
compile.

Ah, ok. Thanks for explaining that.

What that means is that if you bind that plugin goal to the lifecycle but
don't specify any phase (i.e. define it in the plugins section of your pom),
it will bind to that phase by default.

Sweet, that worked great! Also, it looks like dependency:resolve
works too. Not sure why I didn't think of that earlier.
What I still don't quite understand is the documentation for
dependency:resolve says that it binds by default to the
generate-sources phase, yet when I do a mvn generate-sources, it does
not fetch the dependencies to my local repository.

Is there any way to just do just the dependency resolution without
doing the rest of the phase?

Dependencies are resolved by Maven whenever a Mojo's metadata indicates that dependency resolution is a prerequisite to Mojo execution. This can happen in any phase.
