Can you explain the stages and sequence of processes in the Maven build lifecycle?

The Maven build lifecycle consists of a sequence of phases, each performing a specific set of tasks. The main stages (phases) of the lifecycle:

1. validate — checks the correctness of the project and the presence of all necessary data.
2. compile — compiles the project's source code.
3. test — runs unit tests (without packaging).
4. package — packages the compiled code into a distributable format (e.g., JAR, WAR).
5. verify — performs additional checks, such as integration tests.
6. install — installs the package into the local Maven repository for use by other projects.
7. deploy — copies the package to a remote repository for sharing.

When running a Maven command, for example mvn package, all phases from the beginning up to the specified one are executed (validate → compile → test → package). This ensures a sequential and predictable build process.
