* Maven clean is a plugin that, as the name implies, attempts to clean the files and directories generated by Maven during the build process. The target folder, which contains all of the class files, documentation, and JAR files, is removed by the plugin.
* The Surefire Plugin is used to run an application's unit tests during the test phase of the build lifecycle. It can generate reports in one of two file formats: plain text files or XML files.
* The Antrun Plugin allows you to perform Ant tasks directly from within Maven. Your Ant scripts can even be embedded in the POM!
