--------------------------------------
> Add an option to clean the outputDirectory before unpack
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MDEP-675
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-675
> Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: unpack
> Affects Versions: 3.1.1
> Reporter: Olivier Becker
> Priority: Minor
>
> I have a project that needs to extract a very big maven zip artifact.
> I use the maven dependency plugin (unpack goal) with the marker to avoid the
> extraction at each compilation.
> This very big artifact is currently in development, so I use its SNAPSHOT
> version.
> Sometimes a new version of this SNAPSHOT is pushed to Nexus, so when I
> compile my project (using mvn install), the maven dependency plugin unzips
> the new SNAPSHOT version but the problem is that the outputDirectory contains
> a mix between the old version and new version of the artifact.
> For example, the first version of the SNAPSHOT contains two files:
> Foo1.bin, Foo2.bin
> The second version of the SNAPSHOT contains two files:
> Foo1.bin, Bar1.bin
> The outputDirectory contains:
> Foo1.bin, Foo2.bin, Bar1.bin
> Whereas I would need to have only Foo1.bin and Bar1.bin.
> Because it's a very big file, it's not possible to always compile using "mvn
> *clean* install" instead of "mvn install" because extraction takes too much
> time. I need a way to process the extraction only when the big artifact has
> been modified.
> That is why it would be nice to have an option to clean the outputDirectory
> before the extraction.
> I have a pull request that I can submit if you agree to add this new feature.
