I’m using the site distribution feature of maven (version 3.0.3) to upload generated content for our projects. It’s configured in our pom.xml as such:

<distributionManagement>
    <site>
        <id>OUR_ID_HERE</id>
        <name>PROJECT_NAME</name>
        <url>scp://<host>/<parent folder>/${project.artifactId}</url>
    </site>
</distributionManagement>

It works fine, however I’m noticing that the “Last Published: “ portion of the pages is only updated when I physically remove the contents of the target folder. I’m wondering if this is a bug, and if so, would it be possible to configure the maven-site-plugin (version 3.0-beta-3) to clean out the target folder prior to unzipping the uploaded files to work around it?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
