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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
