Maybe that indicates that the process-classes is really a decoration for the compile phase. We have several places in the lifecycle where the same argument applies. Are there phases that are more concrete then others i.e. like compile? Do we have them all? I don't know. We can easily change the lifecycle phases like we are proposing now but will we be continually doing that in the future.

Just to add my two cents to this discussion. It seems that the compile and resources phases already have pre/post phases (although combined as Jason suggests) and now we're discussing the need to add it to the tests. That doesn't leave to many phases besides test except for possibly package and deploy. But it seems like I've seen plenty of discussions on the list that ask how that can do X right before they and Y right before they deploy, etc.

As a result I would +1 this one.
