DevOps Complete Course - Maven Goals

The video tutorial explains Maven goals and their role in the build lifecycle. It covers the three main build lifecycles: default, clean, and site, and details commonly used goals like clean, validate, compile, and test. Advanced goals such as verify, install, and deploy are also discussed, along with their execution sequence. The tutorial emphasizes the practical application of these goals in projects.

What are the three built-in build lifecycles in Maven?

• Compile, Validate, and Package

Which Maven goal is used to remove files generated by previous builds?

• Package

• Validate

• Compile

What is the purpose of the 'install' goal in Maven?

• To install the package into the local repository

• To compile the source code

• To package the code into a JAR file

• To deploy the package to a remote repository

How does Maven execute goals within a lifecycle?

• Randomly

• In parallel

• Sequentially, executing all previous goals

• Only the specified goal

What happens when you execute a higher-level goal in a Maven lifecycle?

• All previous goals in the lifecycle are automatically executed

• All previous goals in the lifecycle are skipped

• The build process is halted

• Only the specified goal is executed

What is the primary use of the site lifecycle in Maven?

• Deploying to a remote repository

• Creating project documentation

• Running tests

• Compiling source code

Which lifecycle is not commonly used in practical Maven projects?
