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.
