Clean mojo assumes that POM projects never have .project files - this is
incorrect
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MECLIPSE-231
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-231
Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.3
Reporter: John Allen
Attachments: EclipseCleanMojo.diff
Quite simply there are quite a few ways to make eclipse:eclipse generate POM
based projects and thus the assumption in eclipse:clean that there are never
any to clean up is invalid.
We use a flat hierarchy like this:
Directory of D:\APT\projects\apt\examples\calculator
14/02/2007 12:40 <DIR> .
14/02/2007 12:40 <DIR> ..
14/02/2007 16:32 <DIR> calculator-ear
14/02/2007 16:32 <DIR> calculator-ejb
14/02/2007 16:32 <DIR> calculator-engine
14/02/2007 16:25 <DIR> calculator-root
14/02/2007 16:32 <DIR> calculator-servlets
14/02/2007 16:32 <DIR> calculator-webapp
calculator-root is the PARENT project of type POM which which logically
contains all the others.
As we are flat we can import all of these into Eclipse without any complaints
from Eclipse. To get eclipse:eclipse to generate a .project file for
calculator-root we tell the eclipse plugin that the Eclipse workspace is == to
the project.builddir. So inside calculator-root/pom.xml we have:-
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<!-- force the eclipse plugin to generate an
Eclipse project for
this POM project, by default it only does so
for Java style projects -->
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<eclipseProjectDir>${project.basedir}</eclipseProjectDir>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
This works a treat, we get all the Eclipse project files generated. However
eclipse:clean dont do the do. May i suggest you just delete any files in clean
rather than trying to be clever? Works for us. Patch attached.
