Answer 4

It looks like there is a symlink in your project which eclipse cannot delete ( search the above for 'dangling symlink') . Try deleting the file manually once and also check it's permissions.

From command line which user do you run 'mvn clean' as ?

By the 'file' I mean the jpg file listed just before the clean fails.

Update

Finally, it turned out that there were some special characters in one of the file names which were causing Eclipse' maven to hiccup.
