mvn: Clean and then package the code with a given build profile.
$ mvn clean -P${profile} package
try on your machine

This command is using Maven to perform build tasks for a project. Here's a breakdown of each component:

  • mvn refers to the Maven executable command.
  • clean is a Maven lifecycle phase clean, which cleans up the target directory by removing all generated files, usually before starting a new build.
  • -P is an argument used to specify a Maven profile. ${profile} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual profile name.
  • package is another Maven lifecycle phase that packages the project code into a distributable format, such as a JAR or WAR file.

Overall, this command first cleans up the target directory, then depending on the profile specified, it packages the project code into a distributable format.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
