This project has moved from Jira to GitHub Issues. This issue was migrated to

> install:install should remove leftovers from local repository
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MINSTALL-79
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINSTALL-79
> Project: Maven Install Plugin (Moved to GitHub Issues)
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Petr Kozelka
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: pom.xml
>
>
> It happens that we need to change the set of output artifacts. When this
> happens, the install mojo does not bother to remove older artifacts that are
> no longer produced by this module.
> The bad effect is, that other modules depending on the obsolete artifacts can
> still use it. Much better behavior in this situation would be, to remove the
> obsolete files from the local repository's directory dedicated for given
> module.
> h4. reproducing the problem
> # download the sample pom to an empty directory
> # execute {{mvn clean install -Dc=obsolete-demo}} - this represents the
> "older version" of a module
> # execute {{mvn clean install}} - this represents the "newer version" of a
> module, after changing the classifier
> # now, look in the local repo using {{ls -1
> $HOME/.m2/repository/demo/sample-zip-module/1-SNAPSHOT}} - you will see this:
> {quote}
> maven-metadata-local.xml
> sample-zip-module-1-SNAPSHOT-demo.zip
> {color:red}sample-zip-module-1-SNAPSHOT-obsolete-demo.zip{color}
> sample-zip-module-1-SNAPSHOT.pom
> {quote}
> h4. possible solutions
> I see two approaches
> # *drop the installdir first* - straightforward
> # *list installdir, install, drop leftovers* - slightly more complicated but
> maximizes the time of installed module existence
