Ummm, it doesn't delete the jar file when I run it.... both from
within Eclipse or the command-line.

The clean target deletes the tree ${output.folder}/micro-client-v3 -
which is the temporary build area.
The jar file is left untouched in ${ship.folder}

If you overlap these directories, then the ship tree might end up
getting deleted - but that isn't the default setup.

It would be better for output.folder and ship.folder to be within the
project structure and not under /tmp - but I wasn't involved in
porting our internal version to the Paho contribution.

So I agree there are things to tidy up, but I disagree that it is as
fundamentally broken as you suggest.
