I've been using maven for a while now, but have finally had to go deeper then just the basics of a pom file. As a result I now am curious about the internal workings of maven.
I understand that there are phases to a build, and that each phase is composed of goals. I also understand that plug-ins can add new goals to the list of goals to be accomplished/dispatched in a phase. My questions are all about goals. How are goals ordered in a phase? What determines the order in which a set of goals are dispatched? Can that ordering be seen? Can it be changed? When a new goal is added to a phase how is it placed in the list of goals for that phase, first, last, indeterminate? Curious minds want to know. Tony PS I've done a fair amount of reading but haven't really found anything on this topic. If you can point me to something that answers my questions, that would ROCK.
