Maven multi module project build: modules in local repo

Question

Suppose we have a multimodule project:

<modules>
  <module>first</module>
  <module>second</module>
</modules>

where second depends on first through dependencies.

If I run mvn cleanpackage, does maven or reactor will put any of the modules to local repo anyway?

The answer is no.

Here are the maven lifecycle phases

As you can see, package comes before install, so install wont be executed - nothing will go to your local repo, unless it was there already.

Actually I doubt. How is jar dependency then found to be added to final package or at least for running compile phase for `second` module? – glaz666 Jun 28 '13 at 11:14
I suspect if you run `package` on the second module you'll get an error like *Could not resolve dependencies for project* - have you tried it out? – vikingsteve Jun 28 '13 at 11:19
