eclipse:clean will remove your ".settings" directory which contains
your customized project settings - pax:clean will _not_ remove this.
however, you don't even really need to use pax:clean unless you're
cleaning up old files - you can simply add that custom execution for
pax:eclipse and just use "mvn clean install" to rebuild everything.

yes, see the docs for the maven-eclipse-plugin (those configuration
options can be used with the maven-pax-plugin, because it extends
the eclipse mojo). But I doubt you'll need to use these because the
.project/.classpath files should already be fine - most customization
actually goes in the .settings folder which isn't touched by pax:clean
