Answer 1

If you're not using a remote repository (like artifactory), use plain old: mvn clean install

Pretty old topic but AFAIK, if you run your own repository (eg: with artifactory) to share jar among your team(s), you might want to use

mvn clean deploy

instead.

This way, your continuous integration server can be sure that all dependencies are correctly pushed into your remote repository. If you missed one, mvn will not be able to find it into your CI local m2 repository.
