---------------------------------------
This seems like the way to do it:
<project>
...
<build>
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<fileset>
<directory>target</directory>
<followSymlinks>false</followSymlinks>
</fileset>
</configuration>
</plugin>
> Option to "mvn clean" task not to follow soft links

> Key: MCLEAN-10
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCLEAN-10
> Project: Maven 2.x Clean Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Environment: UNIX
> Reporter: Roar Lauritzsen
> Priority: Minor
>
> Our project builds an executable into our "install" subproject under
> "install/target". To do a test-run of this executable, I usually symlink a
> directory containing about 1 million test-data files into the directory tree
> below "target". I much prefer symlinking this test-data directory instead of
> copying it, because of the time it takes to copy.
> However, if I inadvertently do "mvn clean" without removing this link, maven
> will follow the symlink and recursively remove my whole input document
> directory.
> An option to "mvn clean", like "dontFollowSymlinks", could do the trick
