Executing Maven Goal

There are two ways to execute a Maven goal:

Use Run Goal command, which produces the same result as launching mvn from the command line.
Run the Maven goal as an application with a Maven-specific run/debug configuration, which can be stored and reused for debugging Maven plugins.

Results are displayed in the console of the Run tool window.

To build a lifecycle phase or a plugin

Select the desired node in the Maven Projects tool window.
Choose Run Goal on the context menu of the selection.

To run a Maven goal as an application, do one of the following

Perform the regular procedure, as described in the section Running Applications.
Perform the shortcut procedure, which uses a Maven-specific run/debug configuration for each goal:
Select the desired node in the Maven Projects tool window, and choose Run <goal>[run/debug configuration] on the context menu, or press Ctrl+Shift+F10.
