Deleting the domain will resolve the "failonerror" but it still does not
solve the problem that Sahoo raised. Creating the domain in
distributions will still use the old files and if there are any changes
in domain.xml, it will not get used.

Kedar's response suggests that any build in packager and distributions
should always start with a clean target directory.

Snjezana, do you see an issue if I add the Maven clean plugin in
packager and distributions modules so that clean gets automatically
invoked in the build.

Thanks,
Jane
