That's correct - `mvn compile` should be sufficient if you just want to compile everything. And in fact, you probably never want to run `mvn compile package` either - `mvn package` will do the compiling as well, so if you run `mvn compile package`, you're actually compiling everything twice. In general, Maven understands what phases are prerequisites for other phases, so you only need to specify the last phase that you want executed. Steve
