Often, it can be a good practice to execute a "clean" before performing a phase in the default build lifecycle. This can minimize issues that can arise from not having an up-to-date target directory. As an example, below I created an External Tool Configuration to perform:

mvn clean install

The output from "mvn clean install" on the "mytest" project is shown below. Notice that the clean phase is executed first (which we see via the clean:clean goal), followed by the phases/goals of the default lifecycle up to the install phase (via the install:install goal).

Console output from 'mvn clean install'
