Maven command to list lifecycle phases along with bound goals?

Question

I\'m just learning Maven, and so this might be obvious, but I can\'t find an easy way to list the goals associated for each maven lifecycle phase for a given project.

I put Chad's answer into a script (so I don't have to remember the plugin name which is really long). Put it in your ~/bin/ folder so you can use it anywhere.

goal='list-phase'
