Closing this issue since the plugins themselves are all pure java with no symbolic links. With that, "mvn clean" works when developing the plugins.

When using the plugins is when you run into trouble. The solution is in your project's pom include this line

<plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>2.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </plugin>

and all will be good.
