For instance, clicking on the Clean option will result in the following:
As can be seen, it runs the mvn clean command.
Similarly, the Clean and Build option is equivalent to the mvn clean install command.
These are simple use cases. NetBeans provides additional configuration options to override default Maven behavior.
