fileset directory does not work as expected when cleaning "modules" in
sub-directories
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MCLEAN-27
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCLEAN-27
Project: Maven 2.x Clean Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.1.1
Reporter: Jacob Robertson
Following the example given on the plugin site, I used a fileset with a
directory like so.
{code}
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<filesets>
<fileset>
<directory>
src/main/application
</directory>
<includes>
<include>*.jar</include>
</includes>
</fileset>
</filesets>
</configuration>
</plugin>
{code}
I did this, or a variation on it, to several projects. I then created a parent
pom in the directory above those projects, added them as modules in that pom,
and ran "mvn clean" expecting to have those specified directories cleaned for
me (of all jar files). However, it did not work. To get it to work, I had to
prefix my directories with ${basedir}, for example
"${basedir}/src/main/application".
If this is the desired behavior, I recommend adding one sentence to the
documentation to explain this.
