That's because the lifecycle phase "package" also runs your unit tests...

you might consider

mvn package -DskipTests

which will avoid *running* the unit tests... it will still compile them
though.

for even faster turnaround

mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true

which will avoid *compiling or running* the unit tests.

Of course, for even faster deployment, I'd just go

mvn tomcat:run

which (assuming you've configured your pom correctly) will start a local
tomcat server from your in-place files... makes editing non-class changes a
breeze... and if you configure context reloading, you can even get the IDE
to just compile the changed files

I'll have a read.

Well it takes 57 seconds to do something that should take a few seconds
using mvn package. 

I find that when I'm writing web projects, I want to deploy in under 5
seconds - if one is rapidly iterating between fiddling with javascript
and testing, a huge build process does not help.  I think it's very
important to keep this point on board when devising build systems.

If mvn package isn't a target, it's something else, and whatever else it
may be, it's something I pass to mvn to get output.  Therefore,
something to list these would be very helpful :)

Any particular reason why you're invoking jar:jar rather than simply
"mvn package", or even better, "mvn clean package"?

The concept of a "list of targets" is not appropriate for Maven2, as
it is for ant and m1. You should be binding plugins to the build
lifecycle so every build automatically uses the various plugins it
requires at the proper time during the lifecycle of your build.
