Joern Huxhorn commented on MCLEAN-25:
-------------------------------------
This isn't a windows handler problem but a windows "feature". You can't delete
a directory that is the current directory of a cmd-console.
The real problem is that clean fails if it can't delete a root directory.
I don't know about any other handler problems that this patch doesn't fix but I
just can't see whats so bad about my suggestion.
> Optionally don't delete the 'target ' directory

> Would it be possible to add an option to the clean-plugin so only the content
> of the target folder(s) are deleted but not the directory itself?
> This would help developers using windoze quite a lot since:
> - clean fails if you happen to have opened a command line with target as the
> current dir.
> - windoze closes explorer windows pointing to deleted directories, so you
> have to reopen the windows after a clean install
> Those problems would both be solved by an option like deleteRoot=false or
> something.
