[jira] Created: (MCLEAN-25) Optionally don't delete the 'target '
directory
Optionally don't delete the 'target ' directory
------------------------------------------------
Key: MCLEAN-25
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCLEAN-25
Project: Maven 2.x Clean Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Joern Huxhorn
Would it be possible to add an option to the clean-plugin so only the content of the target folder(s) are deleted but not the directory itself?
This would help developers using windoze quite a lot since:
- clean fails if you happen to have opened a command line with target as the current dir.
- windoze closes explorer windows pointing to deleted directories, so you have to reopen the windows after a clean install
Those problems would both be solved by an option like deleteRoot=false or something.

-------------------------------------
This isn't a windows handler problem but a windows "feature". You can't delete a directory that is the current directory of a cmd-console.
The real problem is that clean fails if it can't delete a root directory.
I don't know about any other handler problems that this patch doesn't fix but I just can't see whats so bad about my suggestion.

-------------------------------------
Very nice, thank you!
This does not solve the problem of vanishing explorer-windows but it does solve our main problem of failed builds.
Can we expect a 2.2 release in the near future?
