Ok, let's break down your example.
When you call 'newVersion', these happen (in this order):
-> ${basedir}/target/classes get deleted
-> it attempts to run 'jar:install' but a preGoal for it has been
defined, so maven must execute everything defined in the preGoal first
-> the cvs command is executed (this is inside the preGoal
definition)
-> 'jar:install' finally runs
So, in answer to your questions, the preGoal will execute, not before or
after the 'newVersion' but inside it, before 'jar:install'.

Thanks Henry,
But what about there are other goals reside in this maven.xml with Pregoal
together?
For instance,
<goal name="newVersion">
<delete dir="${basedir}/target/classes"/>
<attainGoal name="jar:install"/>
</goal>
***
<preGoal name="java:compile">
<cvs command="commit -m 'updated and checked in automatically by maven'"
package="build.number" quiet="true" />
</preGoal>
within the example above, I want to call goal 'newVersion'.Will Pregoal
execute also?If so, before 'newVersion' or after 'newVersion'?

preGoal executes the scripts you specify before the goal named. For
instance,
<preGoal name="java:compile">
...
</preGoal>
Anything between <preGoal> and </preGoal> would execute first and then
java:compile would be executed.

Hi,
I have a pregoal set up among some other goals within my maven.xml file.
Why this pregoal could run automatically without being called?
Is this the nature of PreGoal?
