Actually... it's not the super-pom. It's the lifecycle definitions.
See here:
https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.3.9/maven-core/default-bindings.html
You can see which plugins (and which goals in those plugins) are bound to
which phase for a given lifecycle. For example, the jar lifecycle is:
<phases>
<process-resources>
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.6:resources
</process-resources>
<compile>
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.5.1:compile
</compile>
<process-test-resources>
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.6:testResources
</process-test-resources>
<test-compile>
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.5.1:testCompile
</test-compile>
<test>
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.12.4:test
</test>
<package>
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jar-plugin:2.4:jar
</package>
<install>
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-install-plugin:2.4:install
</install>
<deploy>
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.7:deploy
</deploy>
</phases>
