What is the difference between the “mvn install” command, versus the use of the jar:jar plugin ?
Its clear that “install” seems to build a jar, and so, I am wondering what the need for the jar:jar plugin would be.

mvn installcommand will “execute” the maven lifecycle up to the install phase.It means that all previous phases will be executed (including the package phase).
On a simple maven jar project, the package phase is bind to the maven-jar-plugin. And so executing
mvn installwill execute at some pointjar:jar.
