suresh Difference between compile and install goals in Maven
In Maven, the compile goal is used to compile the source code of a project. It checks for errors and generates the corresponding class files, but does not do anything with these files beyond compilation.
On the other hand, the install goal in Maven goes a step further. It not only compiles the source code, but also packages the compiled code into a jar or war file and installs it in the local Maven repository. This allows other projects to use the artifact as a dependency.
In summary, the main difference between the compile and install goals in Maven is that compile focuses on compiling the code while install also packages and installs the artifact in the local repository for use as a dependency in other projects.
