Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-2147:
---------------------------------------

I'm not wild about the proposed change. The advantage of deleting the directory 
is that you don't miss any of the build artifacts. I guess it would be ok if 
you replaced:

rm -fr build

with

rm -fr build/*

as long as it also gets all of the "." files.

> 'ant clean' should not remove build directory.

> It would be better if 'ant clean' does not remove build directory. Many 
> projects do not remove this dir. One advantage of not removing is that, I can 
> symlink the build to another place (e.g. /mnt/scratch/) and keep the source 
> code in more reliable place. I will submit a patch if this sounds ok.
