I know this seems like a silly thing to post on here, but...

What exactly is a goal and what is a phase?  I can't find a good answer in the 
documentation and there's a lot of seemingly conflicting information out there.

My current understanding is that a phase is a part of a lifecycle 
(process-resources, compile, etc).  A goal is somewhat analogous to an 
ANT-task, but with a focus on what should happen, rather than how it is done.

Can someone clear this up for me, giving examples?

Thanks,
Dhruva
