compile errors after mvn eclipse:clean

 seems to be a fix-all for numerous eclipse and maven problems.  

However, :clean also appears to delete important files, myProject.project being one of them.  This in turn appears to induce illogical compile errors.

What's the best way to regularly reset/reboot Eclipse and Maven, so they work, without causing additional problems in myVaadin.java code ?

Hi,

take a look at the documentation of the Maven clean plugin; you can specify filesets to include or exclude in the clean phase.

Many thanks for this advise ... let me go try ...
