Description

After invoking Mavens validate or later lifecycle phase, there is a consumerXXXpom file left in the build directory. Here, XXX is a bunch of numbers.

It is not harmful, but I dislike the fact that for every invocation of Maven, the file gets generated again and again. This can quickly lead to tens of files that are never used again anymore. I feel we should clean those files when we're done using them.
