How to run maven in idea before starting the server?

Question

Java

Such a question, I need that when I click on the run button, I would first work out the maven (clean, compile, package) and then start the server and unfold the var archive that the maven made!?

Alternatively, you can use tomcat-maven-plugin or jetty-maven-plugin. Add its configuration to pom.xml. Next, in the Idea at the top, select "Edit Configurations ..." and set the maven goal to start your server (run). You can select the plugin in the Maven Projects section (on the right, usually in the Idea) and select the desired task (for example, tomcat7: run). On it, right-click and you will be able to immediately create a Run Configuration. Here are the screenshots:
