Re: [cbi-dev] CBI "clean" build and SWT

[Krzysztof Daniel <kdaniel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Andrey,

Tycho is calling ant to get SWT build, therefore mvn clean is not aware
of artifacts created in that way. I'm not a maven expert, but I'd assume
that in case of regular builds artifacts are placed in well-known
locations, which are later deleted during clean phase. 

Quick google search revealed that there is a technical possibility [1]
to call a clean target from the SWT build.xml, although I really have no
idea what will be the result. You may open a bug for that (a patch would
be welcome, too).
