Support filesets for clean goal
-------------------------------
Key: MECLIPSE-439
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-439
Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.5.1
Reporter: Michael Johns
It would be great if filesets with includes/excludes were supported for the
clean goal. We have a situation where we have to commit our .settings
directory due to the presence of some items that are not generated by the
plugin, and the clean plugin simply deletes that whole directory. I'm
envisioning something like the maven-clean-plugin, which lets us control
exactly what we want to clean.
I realize that the plugin can generate custom configuration via the
<additionalConfig> tag, which would allow us to regenerate the cleaned file,
but if the additional config files are large, the XML in pom.xml can get
unwieldy very fast. It would be easier to just commit the file and tell the
plugin to not clean it.
