Description

For example you want to delete content of folder but want to keep folder itself and it's SCM (e.g. SVN) information. Following configuration for "maven-maven-clean" plugin deletes all plain files under ".svn" directory and simply keeps empty subdirs. Thus, making update command impossible.

<build>
  ...
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>
      <configuration>
        <verbose>true</verbose>
        <filesets>
          <fileset>
            <directory>logic/src/test/generated/resources</directory>
            <excludes>
              <exclude>.svn/**/*</exclude>
            </excludes>
            <includes>
              <include>**/*</include>
            </includes>
            <followSymlinks>false</followSymlinks>
          </fileset>
        </filesets>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>
