clean won't delete stuff that isn't in ./target

[EJ Ciramella]

I'm having an issue where if there is a parent pom and a child pom, mvn
clean won't use it's configured directories included in the plugin
configuration.

 

It reports its scanning them, but opts to do nothing:

 

   <plugin>

    <artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>

    <version>2.2</version>

    <configuration>

     <filesets>

      <fileset>

       <directory>C:\some\other\dir</directory>

       <includes>

         <include>deleteme\**</include>

       </includes>

      </fileset>

     </filesets>

     <verbose>true</verbose>

    </configuration>

   </plugin>

 

I see this:

 

[INFO]    task-segment: [clean]

[INFO]
------------------------------------------------------------------------

[INFO] [clean:clean]

[INFO] Deleting file-set: C:\some\other\dir (included: [deleteme\**],
excluded: [])

[INFO] Scanning for deletable directories.

[INFO] Re-scanning for deletable files.

[INFO] [cobertura:clean {execution: default}]

 

But everything is still there - any suggestions?
