how to clean up all generated files under "target" directory
Hello,
Every time when I build a maven project, I need to manually remove all
generated files under the "target" directory.
How can I use maven remove all these files before starting the build?
maven command I used is:
mvn compile war:war
With this command, ff I don't remove all files in the "target" directory,
maven won't update the file for me.
Your suggestion is much appreciated.
Thanks
Sam

Only run "mvn clean".

I'm new to maven. Is there any Maven3 documentation out yet?
Specifically I need to create a few new packaging types and I didn't
find good resources on how to do that with Maven3 (I read somewhere that
one can now use Java annotations instead of Javadoc ones.
Any pointer would be really appreciated (even pointers to source code, I
already looked into maven-jar, maven-ear and maven-war but they are all
using the "old?" Javadoc annotations
Greetings

Start a new thread, as this is different than the original post.

I recommend reading some of the books
http://maven.apache.org/articles.html
If you are doing anything besides just building a plain old jar file,
then you need to up skill a bit to make sure you do things right.
There is too much complexity in your build to read a of couple pages
and hack away and get a correctly working build.

"mvn clean" will remove the target directory and everything in it.
Try just "mvn clean install" -- not sure why you're having to run the
war plugin separately. Is this a webapp project?
