Overview
Lifecycle
A Maven lifecycle represents the clearly defined sequence of steps required for building and distributing a project artifact.
There are three built-in lifecycles: default, clean and site: the default lifecycle handles artifact building and deployment, the clean lifecycle cleans the work area, the site lifecycle handles the creation of the project's site documentation.
A lifecycle is defined by a sequence of build phases.
