Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-2147:
---------------------------------------
Besides, isn't it easier to just point your build.dir to where you want it to
point? I believe you can set up a properties file that will override the
default of ${basedir}/build. I think we should close this bug.
> '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.
