POM is the simplest packaging type. The artifact that it generates is itself only, rather than a JAR, SAR, or EAR. There is no code to test or compile, and there are no resources the process. The default goals for projects with POM packaging are shown in Table 4.3, “Default Goals for POM Packaging”.

| Lifecycle Phase | Goal |
