I ve bumped into this question because I actually wanted to define a default goal in pom xml  You can define a default goal under build    lt build gt       lt defaultGoal gt install lt  defaultGoal gt       lt  build gt    After that change  you can then simply run mvn which will do exactly the same as mvn install   Note  I don t favor this as a default approach  My use case was to define a profile that downloaded a previous version of that project from Artifactory and wanted to tie that profile to a given phase  For convenience  I can run mvn -Pdownload-jar -Dversion 0 0 9 and don t need to specify a goal phase there  I think it s reasonable to define a defaultGoal in a profile which has a very specific function for a particular phase

You should always give an argument to your maven command  Normally this is one of the lifecycles  For example   mvn package   Package will create jars  wars  ears etc   For more phases and their meaning  see  http   maven apache org guides introduction introduction-to-the-lifecycle html

Add the goal like -    lt build gt           lt defaultGoal gt install lt  defaultGoal gt           lt  -- Source directory configuration -- gt           lt sourceDirectory gt src lt  sourceDirectory gt   lt  build gt    This will solve the issue

I ran into this when trying to run spring boot from the command line     mvn spring-boot run  I accidentally mis-typed the command as     mvn spring-boot run  So it was looking for the commands    run  build etc
