If you, like myself, often have to switch between different technical
stacks, you may know what it feels like not to be able to recall
something you put so much energy in just a little bit earlier. Time has come to do
something about it.
As you probably remember maven supports three built-in lifecycles:
default, clean and site. The latter two are more or less straightforward, but default one is not so. And today, tired of putting it off, I, finally, did these phrases to memorize phases of the defautl lifecycle.
Here they are:
Very Curious: This Parrot's Voice's Indefinitely Deep
Vault Closed To Put Valuables In Dens
Vessel Carries Ten Pink Velvet Ingenious Dogs
First letter of each capitalized word should map on this: Validate > Compile > Test > Package > Verify > Install > Deploy.
Of course, you still have to remember about goals and executions, not to mention the other two lifecycles and their phases, but that's the start.
Good luck.
