Reinhard Poetz commented on MECLIPSE-71:
----------------------------------------

Are there any implications if I don't run "eclipse:clean" before I run 
"eclipse:eclipse"? Is it possible that the plugin creates some inconsistent 
Eclipse settings files? If no, I agree with you that deleting isn't necessary. 
(Although Maven delets a file that it doesn't generate *completly* --> 
org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs)

I'd propose following cleaning procedure:
- eclipse:clean delets all files it generates/manipulates
- if after deleting these files, something is left (e.g. .svn directory) the 
.settings directory is _not_ deleted
- if .settings is empty, the .settings directory is deleted too.

WDYT?
