> I am attempting to integration test a "partial" archetype by including a valid POM inside the test project. The test fails to generate the expected output because prior to running the test, a call to FileUtils.deleteDirectory() is made to delete all files in the test basedir. I believe the intent of performing the deletion is to clean up prior test runs, but this makes testing partial archetypes impossible with the maven-archetype-plugin.
> A couple possible solutions exist. The first would be to stop deleting the basedir before testing. This might be surprising if someone forgets to clean between tests, but is that really a valid use-case? The second option that I can think of would be to add a new conventional directory ("expected"?) where the test project files can be placed and the Archetype plugin will check if that directory exists and copy the contents to the "project" folder after cleaning up. This option seems like a good compromise because it allows tests to succeed without an explicit "clean" between and also allows testing of partial archetypes.
> I've attached an example archetype that demonstrates the behavior I'm describing. Notice that the output from both the "empty" and "existing" projects are the same.
