How are “mvn clean package” and “mvn clean install” different?

Question

What exactly are the differences between mvn clean package and mvn clean install? When I run both of these commands, they both seem to do the same

Answer 1

Package & install are various phases in maven build lifecycle. package phase will execute all phases prior to that & it will stop with packaging the project as a jar. Similarly install phase will execute all prior phases & finally install the project locally for other dependent projects.
