-------------------------------

             Summary: Clean required when dependencies are updated
                 Key: MWAR-428
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MWAR-428
             Project: Maven WAR Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.2.3
            Reporter: Alex lewis


A {{mvn clean}} is required when a dependency version is updated in a war project pom file; otherwise, both the old and new version of the dependency will appear in the lib directory of the war.

Steps to recreate:
 # Create simple war project with 1 or more dependencies.
 # {{mvn clean package}}
 # List library jar files in {{target/<war>/lib}}.
 # Update a dependency version in pom.xml
 # {{mvn package}} (note: no {{clean}}).
 # List library jar files in {{target/<war>/lib}}.
 ** At this point the lib folder will contain both versions of the dependency.

Expected:

A {{clean}} should not required when dependency versions are updated; {{mvn package}} should be sufficient. This expectation is somewhat driven by recent comments [~rfscholte] has made more recently regarding the unnecessary use of "clean".
