Hi Martin, > how do I get maven to tell me what will be removed when I type "mvn > clean" without actually performing the removal?
Looking at the docs [1], it seems that the maven-clean-plugin does not have that feature. But looking at the source [2], it would probably be a pretty easy feature to add. Care to try your hand at it? First step is to create a JIRA account: https://xircles.codehaus.org/ Second step is to file an issue for it: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCLEAN Third step, if you're up for it, would be to attach a patch: http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-m2-development.html#Creating_and_submitting_a_patch Regards, Curtis [1] http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-clean-plugin/clean-mojo.html [2] https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/blob/trunk/maven-clean-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/clean/CleanMojo.java On Fri, Aug 22, 2014 at 9:01 AM, Martin d'Anjou <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > In GNU Make, I can use the -n command line option to get Make to tell me > what will happen without actually performing any action. > > Specifically, how do I get maven to tell me what will be removed when I > type "mvn clean" without actually performing the removal? > > In general, how do I get maven to do a dry run of any goal and reveal the > commands it will perform? > > Thanks, > Martin > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > >
