Execute maven install phase without executing maven compile

Question

Working with a multi-module project. Want to run maven commands as follows:

mvn clean compile

Then maven install phase without again executing maven compile

Answer 1

Not possible.

You would need to call the goals directly, phases cannot be run separately.

Answer 2

you can (now) skip phases by directly calling the goal via

mvn <plugin>:<goal>

e.g.

mvn compiler:compile

see this answer for details.

for install it should be mvn install:install
