["Mark Struberg (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

Mark Struberg commented on MCLEAN-49:
-------------------------------------

I don't really get the benefit. What is the use case where you would need such a behaviour?
The idea behind dropping the directory is to be certain that you start on a defined base line.

>             Project: Maven 2.x Clean Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 2.4.1
>            Reporter: Björn Michael
>            Priority: Minor
>
> I feel the need to preserve e.g. project.build.directory folder after deleting all files and folders within this folder by clean:clean. 
> Currently these default output folders are deleted entirely instead of beeing cleared.
> This could be configured by configuration section in pom or by a property.
> Thanks in advance.
