Support filesets for clean goal
-------------------------------

                 Key: MECLIPSE-439
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-439
             Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.5.1
            Reporter: Michael Johns


It would be great if filesets with includes/excludes were supported for the 
clean goal.  We have a situation where we have to commit our .settings 
directory due to the presence of some items that are not generated by the 
plugin, and the clean plugin simply deletes that whole directory.  I'm 
envisioning something like the maven-clean-plugin, which lets us control 
exactly what we want to clean.

I realize that the plugin can generate custom configuration via the 
<additionalConfig> tag, which would allow us to regenerate the cleaned file, 
but if the additional config files are large, the XML in pom.xml can get 
unwieldy very fast.  It would be easier to just commit the file and tell the 
plugin to not clean it.
