Description

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:

1. Create simple war project with 1 or more dependencies.
2. mvn clean package
3. List library jar files in target/<war>/lib.
4. Update a dependency version in pom.xml
5. mvn package (note: no clean).
6. 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 a discussion with rfscholte on twitter.
