**[Robert Scholte](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=rfscholte)** commented IMHO you should avoid using `clean` because, as you say, it removes everything, which is often too much. For some reason a lot call `mvn clean install` where I highly prefer `mvn verify`. Plugins should be aware if the task of their goals should be executed or not. e.g. the maven-compiler-plugin verifies nowadays if there are source changes after the latest build. If not, no need to compile. In other words: it is the plugin responsibiliy to do cleanups when required. The clean goal is just a last solution if plugins don't do their jobs good enough. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
