       Body:
Maven's plugin structure is so rich and so process-oriented that IMHO it is counterproductive for each developer to have to find out if a plugin provides a clean goal, then modify the maven.xml to include it.

Shouldn't a plugin attempt to provide as much functionality as possible without additional configuration?

Description:
Using the torque plugin as an example, there are a number of generated files not located under ${maven.build.dir} that should be part of the cleanup.  Ideally there would be a torque:clean goal that takes care of these generated files.  For this goal to be executed automatically as part of "maven clean", the developer needs to add a preGoal or postGoal in maven.xml.

It should not be necessary for a maven plugin user to modify maven.xml to accomplish standard cleanup of a plugin.  The user should be able to expect that a plugin can clean up after itself in an integrated manner.
