pom.xml Syntax for maven-clean-plugin 2.1

[Blake Scholl]

I have been trying to configure extra directories for cleaning using
maven-clean-plugin, but I haven't figured out the right syntax for
specifying which directories to clean.

 

The last syntax I tried was this:

            <plugin>

                  <artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>

                  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

                  <version>2.1</version>

                  <configuration>

                        <filesets>

                              <include>

                              src/main/gen

                              </include>

                        </filesets>

                        <verbose>true</verbose>

                  </configuration>

            </plugin>

 

Which fails with a ClassCastException at CleanMojo.java:107 (it's
expecting a File but got a String).  

 

<snip>

    private void removeAdditionalFilesets() throws
MojoExecutionException

    {

        if ( filesets != null && !filesets.isEmpty() )

        {

            for ( Iterator it = filesets.iterator(); it.hasNext(); )

            {

                Fileset fileset = (Fileset) it.next();  <-- crash
happens here

</snip>

 

 

It looks like the ability to have extra filesets cleaned was added less
than a week ago (thanks, John!), and I haven't been able to find any
examples or documentation.

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

 

Cheers,
