One variation of this recommendation I would make is: avoid using `install`, because it can have unintended consequences. Only use `install` when you explicitly need your built artifacts to be installed into your local Maven repository for use in other local builds. All other times, use `verify` instead, which should do everything `install` does, but without polluting your local maven repository with local builds (which can cause unexpected problems in some cases, and that can be confusing to novice Maven users). For more on the Maven targets in the default build lifecycle, I strongly recommend reading this guide: https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html
