dIon Gillard dist This is the default goal of the plugin and simply attains the dist:build goal. dist:build This goal builds a complete distribution. It is achieved by attaining the dist:build-bin and dist:build-src goals. dist:build-bin Build a binary distribution made up of

• a .tar.gz file
• a .zip file

The contents of which come from the maven.dist.bin.archive.dir directory. dist:build-setup Creates the maven.dist.dir directory. dist:build-src Build a source distribution made up of

• a .tar.gz file
• a .zip file

The contents of which come from the maven.dist.src.archive.dir directory. dist:deploy Deploys both source and binary distributions to the remote repository. The distribution is packaged as the file distributions.tar.gz. To create this file the dist:build goal is attained. dist:deploy-snapshot Simply attains the dist:deploy goal after setting the build name to a snapshot format. dist:deploy-bin Deploys a binary distribution to the remote repository. To create this file the dist:build-bin goal is attained. dist:deploy-src Deploys a source distribution to the remote repository. To create this file the dist:build-src goal is attained. dist:prepare-bin-filesystem This goal sets up the file system in preparation of the binary distribution. It's prerequisites are the jar:jar and javadoc:generate goals. dist:prepare-src-filesystem This goal sets up the file system in preparation of the source distribution. dist:multiproject-deploy Top level goal that builds the source and binary distributions for a multiproject configuration and deploys them. dist:multiproject-deploy-bin Builds the binary distributions (tarball and zip) for a multiproject configuration and deploys them. All artifacts from subordinate projects are collected, and all javadocs are assembled in a single place. dist:multiproject-deploy-src Builds the source distributions (tarball and zip) for a multiproject configuration and deploys them. dist:multiproject-bin Builds the binary distribution for a multiproject configuration by gathering all artifacts and consolidating the javadocs of subordinate projects. dist:multiproject-src Assembles the source distributions for a mutliproject configuration. dist:multiproject Top level goal used to build the distributions for a multiproject configuration. Both the binary and source distributions are built.
