[jira] Closed: (MASSEMBLY-480) Files with ending with a .formatted
extention not cleaned up
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-480?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
John Casey closed MASSEMBLY-480.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Fix Version/s: 2.2-beta-6
Assignee: John Casey
The $(project.build.directory) directory of a project (usually target/) is meant to be a workspace for various parts of the build to store temporary files. It is not customary for plugins to clean up these temp files after a build completes; that's the function of the maven-clean-plugin (mvn clean).

> In the target directory below my project directory a folder called archive-tmp is created and never cleaned up. In it are directories ending in .formatted and files that were being copied as part of this task ending in .formatted. Also in the primary directory where the output of the build is placed there are tons of .formatted files co-mingled with regular files we want to output. Looking through some of the code I think the .formatted extention appears to be used to create temp files as things are copied around but I'm not sure why they are never being cleaned up. We use the outputed files placed in the target directory so this is causing us to get a bunch of unwanted files as part of our build output.
