Not really. Those are internals of Maven and are not really meant to be called by themselves. That's why Maven has a lifecycle - to remove that burden from you. Do you care how an engine in your car works? Or do you just know that when you press the accelerator pedal the car goes forward? You have better things to work on, like your own project, than trying to get Maven to work the way you want it to. People will quote at you "Don't fight against Maven, you'll loose". You will have a much more enjoyable experience by gaining a little knowledge (see the free books) and to follow the well worn path Maven has made for you. We are here to help you if the path needs repairing, but I think you wont have much luck if you want to go through the jungle. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
