The buildplan-maven-plugin is an excellent tool for showing how goals are bound to phases.
Below are examples of commands you can run. The commands will automatically download and install the plugin if it hasn’t already been installed.
List goals by the order they will execute
> mvn fr.jcgay.maven.plugins:buildplan-maven-plugin:list

Notes
By default, the goals search for tasks that would run if the user invoked mvn deploy. Phases such as clean won’t be included. To include multiple phases in the search, use the buildplan.tasks property:
> mvn fr.jcgay.maven.plugins:buildplan-maven-plugin:list -Dbuildplan.tasks=clean,deploy
