Description

It would be helpful, if an existing running container could be cleaned from previously (failed) deployments.

E.g. by adding a new "deployer-clean" goal, which clears the "deployment"-folder of a container.

And does the existing cargo:undeploy satisfy this requirement? If not, why?

I understand that cargo:undeploy removes the known/configured deployables for a given project.

But sometimes, there is some garbage or other deployments from older project runs left inside the containers deployment folder. It would be nice if this could be cleaned using a simple maven cargo call.

OK, I see.

The trouble here is that most deployers are not aware of all the things that are deployed.

Do you want to have this for local or remote deployer?

I see the difficulties for remote deployers, that they can only access identifiable deployables.

A local deployer could clean everything inside the "deploy" folder. Maybe using optional includes/excludes.

Well, in JBoss for example the JBoss services (such as the web service) are also deployed (and configured) via the "deploy" folder. In JOnAS, database definitions are also in deploy.

So, this could actually mess up "a lot" of stuff :o

Oc course, if you have a magic idea it is always welcome
