When i save changes in my java source code with Eclipse i notice in the Progress tab
As i am using Maven which phase or plugin (goal) is being invoked here ?
What happens behind the scene ?

simply it updates maven dependencies based on your pom.xml or resolves Maven dependencies from the Eclipse workspace without installing to the local Maven repository. visit this site to know about that in detail https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.1/maven-core/apidocs/org/apache/maven/project/ProjectBuilder.html
Any change to the source code or pom file of the project signal eclipse to rebuild (if build automatically is enabled). However, maven builds, would check for the required artefacts from the remote repository and download them to local repository (under .maven dir) before running compile phase. Maven plugin can be configured to run offline in which when remote repository will not be queried - making the build execute faster.
