[news.eclipse.technology.m2e] Re: Meaning of different profiles (install

["Will Horn" <will.horn@xxxxxxxxx>]

This site 
(http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html) 
has some details, including a description of all the phases in the three 
different lifecycles.

I've never used 'mvn build' and am not sure if that is a real phase.
